I rode it home from halford and it was really nice to ride, and I'm a bit odd about bikes, I ride a 12" (frame size) very large travel front forks 180mm-200mm, 24" wheels and very wide 3" tires, and only 7gear, and I can happily do 26miles round rutland water. But that Halfords carrara bike was very nice to ride and I would have be very happy to have paid my money for it.
