    I ended buying this bike.

    I delayed the purchase so long specially because the father of my partner was very sick and died short after Xmas that I forgot about Brexit and that after the 1st of January one had to pay customs...

    I'm very happy, it's my first brand new bike since I'm an adult.

    I will use it as a commuter when I need to take my little one in the child trailer tot the market, to the Kindergarten and for tours.

    I'm building a bike for other occasions like when i need to leave at the railway station and plan to repair my fixed gear this Spring.
