Thanks for the kind reply. I have seen those but they are much to pristine for me.
My bike needs to be used for evening, dirt tracks, much train travel , left outside shops and schools and very heavy shopping so I don’t want something pristine and precious.
I need a well used but loved and mechanically sounds that I don’t have to worry about any new scratches .
Used is the way to go for me cheers

it sounds like it will be a well used bike. I am also on the look out for a used step through Nomad, but in the smallest size.

Decades ago when I was in college, I was talking to a teaching assistant in his office. He had a new bike, painted white. But there was some ugly black spray paint on the lugwork on the head tube. I asked what was wrong with his bike? He said nothing, but he had already had a couple other bikes stolen recently, so he wanted to make his look ugly. So, he bought a can of spray paint.
Point being, if you are picky about your new bike, you might never find exactly what you want. If you see the perfect bike that is not ugly enough, that is an easy fix.
