"This bike is a must have, looks great, and a decent price too! The only thing i would say is that the seat isn't at all comfortable, but i suppose it is hard to find a bike with one that is!"

"I bought this bike for my Daughter as a first "big girls bike". Firstly I have not been able to get her off it since we bought it, however, the thing that has impressed me the most is the build quality. Usually when you get a new bike you spend ages tweaking, not the case this time, no tweaking after 2 weeks (the danger period). As the parent I am chuffed and so is the owner."

"The colour is perfect and the seat gives it a look of luxury. Rides smoothly and can't find any faults. Reserved online and managed to get it 5 hours later. The staff where very helpful. This bike is definitely worth every penny. Spend the extra and get this bike that looks fantastic and rides like a dream. I would buy all the bikes in the collection if I could afford to."

Pros: lightweight., smooth gear change
"I bought this bike after my previous bike got stolen and can I say it could well have been a blessing in disguise. I love this bike. It has a beautiful, feminine yet simplistic look to it which doesn't make me feel like a grown woman trapped on a girl's bike. It is great to ride, gears are smooth and the seat is comfortable. The parts seem solid and above all it is light enough for me to carry in one hand up my three flights of stairs, a must for me now. Paid a little more on this bike but I can honestly say it was money well spent."

"I recently purchased the Brooke to replace my mountain bike as I commute to work by bike, a 15 mile round trip and the mountain bike wasn't really cut out for it. I expected the Brooke to be faster and decrease my daily time but it hasn't really. It is however a much more comfortable ride for longer journeys. It changes gears easily and smoothly and it's a good quality bike. I don't have any regrets buying this bike and would reccomend it to others."

"I reserved on line and within 3 mins I had received a call from the local Halfords store to check when I would be able to pick up and to make sure I understood that to build the bike may take a day or two. Very impressed, was able to arrange a convenient pick up time and received a call before hand to confirm it was ready for me. Went to store to pick up and rode bike home, fab bike would really recommend very fast and lovely to have good gears too."

Pros: everything
"I've only just bought this bike after getting caught up in Olympic Fever and I have to say it's brilliant in every way. It was my first time riding in about twelve years but this bike is a genuine pleasure to ride. First of all, it looks absolutely beautiful - the pictures on the website do not do any of the Pendleton bikes justice - the colour, the style, the lovely white seat and the gold writing look great, and I love the look and feel of the handlebars. The bike itself is fantastic quality - the gear changes are very smooth and make for a lovely ride - I'm not the fittest of people but find this bike easy to get up a hill, and easy to control. The rubber on the handlebars make grip comfortable and easy, and the seat is also very comfortable for a bike too. It's great for a leisurely ride around cycle paths and country lanes, but also picks up some serious speed on the roads. Credit to Victoria Pendleton for designing these beautiful bikes (I'd have all three if I could) - a lasting legacy after all her amazing success."

"I'm 16 and bought this bike with the money I got from my GCSE's. It's brilliant. Not only does it look beautiful, but the seat is extremely comfortable, with great quality shimano gears which are very easy to use and have a lovely smooth change. The bike feels very robust, although I have only taken it out on the road so far, but it feels sturdy and safe to ride on, but can also pick up a heck of a lot of speed on the road. Also, I'm only 5ft and I thought (judging by the Halford's size guided) that even the 16" frame would be too big, but it isn't so: with the seat and handlebars down as far as they go it is a perfect fit, so don't be put off by the lack of even smaller frame if you're tiny like me. Overall, great quality bike, beautifully designed by Victoria and very good value for money. Would definitely recommend for leisure, commuting or exercise."

Pros: styling, comfort, straightforward gears, great value with the current discount
"This bike is fantastic, light weight, beautiful to look at and beautiful to ride - the form v function balance has certainly been achieved. I haven't cycled for over 20 years so it was a bit of a leap of faith buying this bike as I wasn't sure I'd actually use it. Now I can't keep away from it, I've even started to cycle to work!
The gears are easy to opperate, the cycling position is great and the seat isn't uncomfortable.
