    Seems like a fair swap. Could you post photos of the other half? :wink:

    Brought one of the gt’s for Mrs B last year she has been doing same things
    As your mrs wants to do light trails etc she thinks it’s a brilliant bike ,
    And I had a quick trial run when I fettled a small prob now thinking next bike might
    Be a gt very nice ride
    Whoops who did that!

    Mrs B is 5’1” think she had a small frame , to be honest we had such a good deal,
    we were on holiday and hired a couple of bikes and this one was new and
    Show that I didn’t look just made have a road test and bingo she fell in love
    With it !
    Whoops who did that!
