Hi
I'm looking for a new commuter bike and this:
looks ideal and cracking value too.
Has anyone any experience of this bike or any of the Edinburgh Bicycle co-operative kit in general?

I've had mine for about 18 months. No problems. Came delivered ready to ride, just twist the bars.
My commute is 11 miles each way through town parks, alongside a river and a few hilly road bits.
I toyed with getting the 26" wheel version but glad I went for the 700c in the end for the road stretches.
Haven't made any changes other than add a rack and some panniers.
I'd recommend one.Posted 2 years ago # -
cool, does the standard model come with disc-hubs and mounts on frame/fork?
(I realise that there is a disc version available; just that I want to stick my own spare brakes on it)
thanks

Nope. Rim brakes only on mine I'm afraid. Not sure if there's any changes on the more recent ones? I'd guess not. I've found the bog standard Vs to be fine for commuting though. Handy for me as I use panniers.

Their standard 26" Courier was the bike I got when I started commuting around six years ago, and still use it. I used it off-road and for 100+ mile road trips before expanding the bike collection. It's fast, strong, adaptable (and once I swapped the useless chain guide that came with it for an N-Gear jump stop, reliable). I recommended one to a friend, would recommend one to anyone else.
