This was my first road bike having done my CBT. I bought it from another chap at work who bought it new to learn on, for £250. It had various areas of surface rust, and some of the chromeing is about as thick as tissue paper. However for the price i paid and the new price of thses bikes you really cannot complain. If i had it from new i think it would not have suffered as much as the previous owner never cleaned it by his own admission.I have now spent a grand total of 3 hours cleaning it and it looks alot better,not very long but worth the little investment of time. It looks okay and i'm only embarassed by my L plates.
I use it for work quite often, a round trip of 38miles, it goes along the Cornish roads both A and B really quite well, and i can pass stationary cars costing lots of money easily as they queue for St ives (he he).
The only negative thing i can say about my bike, is that i dont really trust the Chinese tyres. This will be sorted with new ones soon so happy days. Very good on fuel too.
