Yo Scolist, I grew up on the Highland side of the river and still have family there. Four years ago I knew nothing about bikes and fit but was lucky enough to go to a reliable bike shop that put me on the right size bike. Not only was the bike sized correctly but the model was versatile enough to outfit for light touring with a rear rack and panniers. I hope you have that kind of bike shop in PK. Google for the local bike club and ask members on their web site - they will know who is reliable.
