Advice on buying

You will see from the above that I have base concerned with weight - that has two main elements:

1. Manoeuvrability in the garage: I have seen bike 'dollies' that make this much easier on the net - does anyone use them?

2. I have a gravel drive...think I'm just going to have to suck that one and see, but does anyone else have the same challenge?

Thanks

Beerman

This bike rides well on dirt or gravel. Just take the usual precautions with slow speed work. Cormanus has (had) a gravel/dirt/grass drive, uphill and about 50 meters long that in the wet would be as slippery as a steeple in a sleet storm. And he didn't drop it. At least if he did he didn't tell me Smile.

Cheers
