budget around £500ish.
I've been tasked with recommending a friend a bike with those specifications. Specialised Langster looks great, charge bikes too, anything else I should consider?
head over to on-one - lots to choose from.
does he want drop or flat bars?
Genesis day one?
Thanks so far, not sure if he wants drop bar or flat, I'm guessing flat but he also complains about sore wrists/hands so maybe drop bar with their greater variety of hand positions. Bit mystified by On-One always fitting 170mm cranks to their urban bikes, he would definitely fit into the 175mm territory given his height.
I thinkt he 170 thing is due to the flip-flop hub/fixie thing - (slightly) less likely to get a pedal strike with a shorterer crank.
i recently bought a kona dew off here for these exact purposes. great bike so far & nice & cheap @ £120.
