The Niken GT might be designed to cover serious mileage, but I’ve actually been riding it primarily on my daily commute. It’s a good stint; 20-odd miles each way across rolling Lincolnshire countryside which gives me a good chance to stretch its legs on the reg. It’s incredibly easy to live with; while it’s a…
