    No mudguards? And what if you want the bars higher?

    They're already pretty high, on a riser bar and riser stem. Too small frame? I tried the Subway couldn't get on with the sizing, tried both 18" an 20"

    had mine about a month now, decent enough especially for the price. As for the bar height found that it was too low for me and couldn't get any higher. Asked Halfords to supply and fit the adjustable stem for me (think its about £18 in store) for free as I was advised to get the 18" bike by the 'expert' and that if they didn't I'll have me money back please. After a few huffs and harrs from the so called expert, walked out of the shop 15 mins later with the new stem. Needed it as well as the riding position was terrible for me as used to MTB with threaded adjustable stems, and obviously a weird body of long legs and little arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hope this helps.
