That would sort the question of whether to keep or sell the Marin.
The Marin is getting a pre-Ebay service in just over a week, and I'm lining up some other stuff to sell.

Is there anything I need to be mindful of with the spec for this bike? It would be for light errands, popping round to friends etc. I'm a little wary that such a pretty bike might be light on functionality or might not last, but Dawes seems to be a fairly well regarded brand here. Every time I see one I want to bring it home. If anyone has time to have a quick look at the spec and post any comments I'd be most grateful, thank you.
