I got the charge steamer (mens version of lazy susan) from evans – £250 reduced from £500 – it’s a lovely bike but it’s only 3 gears and you’d need to spend a bit to get it up to the spec of the one the OP posted. It weighs 36lb out of the box so would be up with the 40lb of the OP’s bike by the time you’d added baskets and lights etc.
and his wife wants the one he posted and we’d all rather ride the one we chose than a compromise?
With the lights, I would try and get LED dynamo lights put on whatever you get, rather than the old fashioned halogen ones. They are brighter, supposedly take less power out of the hub and more importantly they don’t blow the bulb ever. Is about a £50 upgrade, but worth it.
