Buying a bike to replace a stolen one, main use is family riding, trailer pulling, the odd lakes trip and stand in for mechanical issues.
So the list is:
Charge Duster eight (Alfine)
Charge Duster Mid
Orange R8 (bit pricey)
Orange G2 (not steel but cheap)
Genesis Altitude 00
Genesis IOID (Alfine)
Going on looks, I'm favouring the Duster Mid.... but will need some kind of adaptor for trailer pulling.
So any thoughts, I am looking for good value and lack of chav appeal, as have been repeatedly targeted before.
