Hoorah! Picked up the bike this morning and here it is:
The little beauty. From the shop in Shirley I managed the 3.7m ride home in 27 mins which isn’t bad for the first time. Just before home there’s a rather nasty hill and it beat me and I had to huff and puff on the pavement for a short time before getting back into it. Hopefully the raodside huffing and puffing should decrease as I get a bit more used to cycling again.
Modern bikes are ace. I used to have a fairly fancy Peugeuot racer in my teens which at the time was a nifty and expensive bike. These days it’d be a pretty hefty clunker. Switch gear changing is a lot easier than the really imprecise levers in the olden days. Pretty pleased with it all in all

Did you get stabilisers with it?
Nice bike!
Have you had to alter the height of the saddle yet? and don’t forget to alter the seat as that can be slid.
