Thing is, if i can afford it, how good or not is the edinburgh co ops revolution cuilin pro ? I intend using it as a road / to work/ weekend warrior. Have to say, not too impressed by shiny stuff like suspension and disk brakes but......if they actually work, fork lock out sounds sensible etc. Any info about that bike would be gratefully received . Cycle to work thingy and I reckon on no more than 5oo quid,( cars cost less ! ) But it must last at least 10 years, cause ill be dead soon after. Canal, 2 bridges , pentlands classics,Dumyat and Carron dam. Intend fitting rear rack and crud catcher. Old co op student bikes had a good reputation but.............. are they just rebadged Taiwaneese rubbish or do they actually cut the mustard at a budget price ?<br /> I was brought up on self built mtbs,ie council tip for a frame, chopper or grifter wheels and no brakes. We called them scramblers ! This computer thingy is quite good,never knew any thing about the cycling comunity,think I might spend some time on here !<br /> Aw ra best, splitshift ! ( its a lorry driving gearbox thing !) </p>
