Dawes have a great range as do Ridgeback, Myself I have a Rohloff geared Van Nicholas Pioneer, not the fastest bike by a long way, but comfort and reliability was top of my shopping list. |

You can then email (it says send to a friend) that set up to your chosen Bike shop supplier here in England. Your Bike is then hand built at Van Nicholas's facility in Holland and shipped out to your chosen Bike shop (typically in 3-4 weeks). My finished Bike cost £2800.If you go on the web site and click News, then click vn fans. That opens a page where other cyclists who bought from V N can show their bikes to other people, My picture is of me and my Bike at the start of my recent C2C in Scotland. |
