They'll be in pretty good nick and cheaper than buying new. Pop along on Saturday morning (when they have their bike sales) if you fancy one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5547#post-59673 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:35:21 +0000 ruggtomcat 59673@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>lovely things. want! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5547#post-59666 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:53:00 +0000 Simple City 59666@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So far I've failed to ground any of the low trailers, they seem ok with speed bumps.

Fortunately I think I've persuaded my Mum she wants to buy herself one for her birthday so I can at least go and visit one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5547#post-59469 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:10:27 +0000 Smudge 59469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Indeed :-)<br /> need to find a "tongue in cheek" smiley :-D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5547#post-59466 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:03:29 +0000 chdot 59466@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Smudge</p> <p>Don't worry, I've got one.</p> <p>I'm not after a PB, but suspect some potential customers would like some sort of rear rack.</p> <p>(Though perhaps LB answered my question before I asked it...

It is possible to have a front rack too. Hole though is not used as support. Rear rack uses the frame to secure into. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5547#post-59458 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 21:39:55 +0000 SRD 59458@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice review.
