Product Review: Beautiful five star bike...
This my 96th review to date and only around my seventh or eighth five star unique product review (some of the other five star reviews were for the same items under different listings).

I bought my Pioneer 2 around four weeks ago - with the aim of finally getting myself back into shape - and have rarely been off it since (apart from eating, sleeping and working of course!). If you've only ever been used to Toys R Us bikes like myself, this is sooooo different. Of course this is more than twice the cost price of those but you can literally feel this is in an entirely different class. You can also spend more - the Pioneer 3 is another fifty or so quid but a budget's a budget and this fitted mine exactly. Riding this bike is effortless with the gear shifts so smooth and very much unlike my previous cheaper cycles. It's also dead silent, albeit probably because I had it set up by a pro bike builder.

The 'included' luxuries - such as chain and mud guards, kick stand...
