They ain't commonly referred to as" Halfrauds" for nothing! reputation well and truly earned. stock chosen by "sales -appeal" rather than suitability for purpose and VFM. Overheads on those big , prime-position sheds are enormous ....the punter pays.

Run that one past me again? What effect does the regularity of use have on the suitability of a particular gear system?
Taken in context, the writer would appear to be alluding to a "regular" rider as opposed to a "sporting," "
mountain-trail" " distance" or other special-interest bicyclist.
I rode one about 3 months ago, in Holland, for the first time in about 20 years. It was purely for transport
therefore, I'm a regular rider, as opposed to an extreme-sports masochist.
