It kinda took us by surprise, all of a sudden we parked the car and had a look around the shop, humming and hawwing at all the different types, sizes & colours of bikes! Pretending we knew what we were looking at and secretly plucking up the courage to ask for help in choosing a bike...
Eventually after some touching around and mumbling to each other the guy in the store cam over and asked us if we need any help, at this stage we had both seen a few bikes that we liked. so he got them down for us, adjusted the saddles and told us to head out on them for a ride.. Which we did, we were out for a good 10 mins and when we came back he already had another two down for us to try, another racer and a hybrid for my wife to try. So out we went again, me on the racer (Trek 2.1) and Sharon on the Hybrid (Giant). The hybrid just wasn't even in the running.
After we got back the second time we tried another two racers, My wife Sharon tried a low cost racer by Dawes and I tried a high end Giant racer. So when we returned we made our minds up. The Dawes and the hybrid were out of the race!
What we went for in the end was the Merida Race Lite 900 for S and the Trek 1.2 for me.
Delivery within the next week or so!!
Next blog post will be about our first time on the bikes!!
