  1. Surely would be better back in with multi, its model specific

  2. I have a 27" inside leg with thighs like the hulk. Seat height is tough on every bike. If you can afford it, the new multi is way better because its narrower.

    If its last model, skyhook makes things so much better. The on-the-fly preload adjustements (I just used urban as my soft setting) makes paddling in traffic easy enough with some care.

    Low seat makes it easier, but you will find al they did was take padding out so its less comfy if you have a boney arse (or like me you don't after a couple of hours)

    Biggest challenge is camber getting on/off as its a heavy limp to get off the stand (again new one seems far easier as the weight is lower)

    Once on the move, its fine. And where skyhook really takes over. Drop me a pm if you want any more detail.

  3. Welcome, you're nearly in Devon...
     
  4. Yes, very nearly. I work in Devon and until earlier this year used to live in Devon too.
     
  5. I'm in Exeter but Lyme Regis is a lovely place and SWMBO and I often visit for a walk along the cob etc.
