It is a saracen mad 26, if that helps it has a small seat but nothing that you would really want to sit on. I do want to ride trials but i would need to use the bike as a day to day for quick trips to town. I live on campus at the moment but town in about a 15 min walk. And yes it does have gears. I am in chichester its very flat so hills are not a problem. Cheers for the welcome Ben
