48x18 is a nice gear. 48x19 rocks my world though. Love it.

I am going to experiment with gears. With a short commuting ride - City to Islington - I am looking for a workout but not to kill my knees. I am heavy and therefore have strong legs (they need to be to carry me) and for a three mile commute am happy to be out of the saddle most of the time. With such a pretty white saddle, it would be a pity to put my lardy arse in it anyway. Cyclefit say that they are happy to change gears, which compensates for my technical shortcomings. Better to start a little high and drop down rather than coast too easily.

It arrives the week after next. I am getting as excited as a five year old waiting for a first bike.

I've got it. Picked it up yesterday. It is very pretty indeed. 48 x 18.

All I need to learn now is how to upload a photo of it.

Welcome to the forum cliveo. Uploading a pic is easy, one way to do it is open a photobucket account (or similar provider), then upload your pics to the account from a folder or your desktop (easy instructions on the photobucket site). Then copy and paste the correct link from your account (normally looks a bit like this [IMG]blah/blah/blah.jpg[/IMG]) and paste it into the reply box when writing a post for a thread on LFGSS. Hurrah!
