It's so nice to read a pro derailleur opinion! It's true that I lust after a Thorn Mercury, but we shouldn't forget how good derailleur equipped bikes can be - especially when they're designed by Thorn!!

A good derailleur setup is the benchmark that hub gears have to aspire to beat!

That is one great looking Sherpa Andy, you can't beat that new bike feeling can you? I'm sure you'll have many a happy day pedalling that beauty.

Hey Jags! You are a terrible wind up merchant.

Regards, Neil.

Doncaster, Andy?? Not far from me, then. I like the thumbies, mainly because my thumbs are no longer strong enough to change down (i.e. onto bigger cogs ) comfortably with the pushing motion usually required. I found I ended up using the 'heel' of my hand, and the thumbies suit much better.

My wife rows at Hexthorpe most Saturday mornings, we must meet up there sometime . . . . .

Thanks Lewis, that is kind of you to offer. Alas my time is not my own at the moment. Any rides I do will have to fit around my caring duties for mum and dad.

Congrats on a great purchase Andy. I got a Raven back in June, which apart from the gears is very similar to your Sherpa. Ok it's not a speed merchant, but it's easily the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden, and Bradley Wiggins I ain't.

sound like an ideal bike for you what with daily rides, shopping etc.

Panaracer Pasela Tour Guard Rigid Tyre - 26 x 1.75 Inch (42-559).

On closer inspection, a puncher repair! I find that my tyres are not Panaracer Pasela TG as I believed them to be but Panaracer Pasela PT. Is there there any grate derferance between them?
