I fancy getting this for commuting, going to the shops etc. It's a LOT heavier than the T3a I currently use for the commute but I've made the same journey on a heavy mountain bike an it's really only a difference of a couple of minutes. The roads are so awful that I want something a bit more comfortable than skinny 23C tyres.
Does anyone else ride anything like this?

Thanks Chas. The Nework looks good - pity it's discontinued, though I'd need more than 3 gears.

Unfortunately I live up a hill and work is up a different hill.

I decided to go for the Ghost in the end. I'm not sure why. I think it may have been the stem and handlebars. I preferred the look of the Ghost's. I went down to CR yesterday and got the written quote so will submit it on Monday for the C2W scheme. Perhaps a kindly Mod could merge this with the 'My Next Bike' thread; I had trouble finding it when I started this one.
