"I've a short commute, only 4 miles, with a half mile hill climb that peaks at a 7% gradient. I've been commuting for 3 years on a 21 speed touring bike. I was a little worried that the 8 speed Kingfisher wouldn't have a low enough gear to get me up the hill, but even with the horrid head wind today it was easy enough.
I like the sat upright riding position. It feels like your higher, and for me it is more comfortable on the back and neck."
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, green

Am I lost?
Should not these be listed under gear cables instead of brake cables.

What size is a Bobbin Kingfisher?
I am going to buy the bike, but I can't tell what size to order.
I'm comfortable on a 19", could happily go a little larger.
The description states, "Frame: Steel, Sizes 17″, 19″ ".
The options list 20.5" or 22.5".
Which is correct and how do order it?
Regards and Best Wishes,
Robert
