My wife quite likes the look of the Pashley Provence. Would this bike be ideal for commuting 8 - 10 miles on and longer leisurely rides when the suns shining. bear in mind, its not about speed, but is it a durable bike and is the frame not too heavy - new world to me... we were originally looking at hybrids, but this caught her eye
