I owned this bike for about 4 years until it was recently stolen :(
I did around 5-6000 miles on it,had one puncture in that time and never had to replace the tyres. After 2 years the gears started to slip and had to be adjusted.
I had a puncture on the way to work and had it repared by a LBS, big mistake as they hadnt come across the gears before and set them up wrong, the gears came apart whilst pulling away at a roundabout and nearly killed me, cost £100 to repair.
So great bike but make sure whoever works on the gears knows what they are doing.
