I've found a Tern HSD locally with 1100 miles on the clock for £1.9k. I've wanted one of these for a while due to the potential for my wife to use it and carry our child around on her day off, rather than always taking the car. The other 4 days of the working week I'd be committing on it, 5 miles each way with child drop-off after a mile.
Going back and forth on whether to DIY the Genesis Vagabond frame sitting in my garage. Obviously the wife wouldn't be able to use this, higher centre of gravity, no dedicated accessory range like the Tern has. Positives: Far smaller initial outlay, probably less than half the cost of the Tern, probably a slightly better ride due to the bigger wheels.
Anyone been through the same debate and have anything to offer either way?
