(my definition: a bike without suspension with drop bars and mudguards and at least one rack which will take panniers, middle sized road tyres and a wide range of gearing. Eg. Ridgeback Panorama or a kitted ‘cross bike doubtless open to debate though!)</p> <p>Or will there be a different craze/fashion…? Maybe folders as bikes become more popular and space more restricted?</p> <p>As exam papers used to say, “discuss” ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12167#post-141889 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:20:17 +0000 ecompose 141889@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am selling this lovely bike to fund a bike with a more upright riding position. It is in great condition (also advertised on e-bay for more - put in "Jamis Aurora Elite" as a search to view photos etc...) Given I will not be subject to e-bay seller fees on this forum you may obtain the bike (and the extras noted on e-bay) for £650.</p> <p>Please call me (John) or text to view (evenings). I am in the Blackford region of Edinburgh. 07717451372 </p>
