touche vs tempo

gbr236

Has anyone ridden these offerings from Pearsons or Condor. I am sick of feeling beaten up by an old mtb aluminium frame built up with 700s and road bars. Hence I thought of steel from condor. Want something that 'feels' a bit faster than a pompino but will still take guards etc.
Thanks

I have the Pearson Touche - which fits mudguards - though I don't use them (I've got a 'proper' beat up old single-speed for the winter commute).

Its a cracking bike - light as a feather, looks the business (mines the gun metal grey one) and rides beautifully.

All the Condor bikes seem to get similarly excellent reviews - I doubt you could go wrong with either - which doesn't really clear your dilemna up

tempo has forward facing hoz drops. easier for guards.
