Hello everyone. New member from Edinburgh here.Had my new Veek for just over a week now. Its a great bike just need to get adjustable gear lever as its too short for me. Not too sure about the 1st to 2nd gearchange either it feels too long and not very precise. Apart from that all good. Mabye catch some of you out and about in the future. Stu
