Product Review: beginner cyclist, pretty bike.
I'm going to try my best to review this bike. But you might need to know about me to help you make judgements. I'm 5foot2 12stone, last cycled 5 years ago during the summer, pior to that last rode 10 years before going to work every day. This purchase is with a view to loosing weight, saving petrol money on local trips, getting out and about in fresh air.

The reason for buying this bike was that I have a 2.5 year old toddler to transport & a child seat wont fit on either a bike with rear suspension, or bikes with smaller wheels - which I usually get due to my short height. So I have this bike in purple with a 17 inch frame. The child seat I use is the Mr fox.

My partner put this together for me. It took about 2 hours including fitting the seat. The supplied tools didn't work. One of the allen keys bent on use and the other already had a 'mullered' end. The spanner thingie hadf no room to move with some of the nuts. As I'm short & have my seat very low...
