The Search for a Bike

In the last month I have decided that by September this year I will have to start cycling around to get to and from my lectures for university. This is because, whilst the house we are going to rent is not horrifically far, it is over a half hour walk alone, and I just don't feel like carrying piles of books for that long when I have to get an essay done (curse me for taking english literature). So I've been researching and researching, looking through women's bike blogs as I would like a traditional classic/dutch bike. And now I've got it down to two.
It's either going to be:

-The Pashley Poppy (£450)

or

-The Bobbin Brownie (£350)

My heart is set on a Pashley, but I have the feeling with money being tight at the moment, and in the future, that I'll have to go with a Bobbin Brownie. It's not a huge downer, the Bobbin Brownie is a gorgeous bike, plus it does have more gears which is helpful as Winchester is rather hilly.
