Hi all,
having just being out in the rain and occasionally pot-holed roads I am coming over to the idea of a winter bike that can take a bit more punishment than my lightweight road bike, I'd welcome any opinions on the final 3 I have in my list...
Flat Bar Road bike with Disc Brakes+
What are some models you know that fits this+ are under 11kg in weight,preferable under 10kg.
have good quality components (at least Tiagra/Deore equivalent ) comes with decent wheels (not super-duper pro stuff ,but just decent enough)
+ are able to take 40mm...
I am still nervous of the dreaded pressfit bottom bracket creak and am looking for a new road bike.
External threaded BB is a big factor in any choices - budget 2k ish.
I am looking looking at the Farilight Strael and Dolan Ti ADX at the upper end of my budget, but there must other bikes...
Recently picked up a Reynolds 753 frame with a few Dura ace bits still attached (Brakes,headset and front derailleur) from my local bike shop ,the bike and previous owner are well known to the shop so not someone who has just wandered in of the street ,now the interesting thing is the back story...
Had this lovely lady for 3 years now, bought new from Bicycle World in Longham. Have had her serviced every 12-months at Samways in Wimborne. Tiagra 10 speed gears, fizik bar tape in pink. Just had a brand new chain fitted and had her serviced so all ready to go.
I am 5ft 5 and it fits me...
My girlfriend wants to use my snap and wondered if an ordinary bike like one with 32mm tyres and sit up and beg would work on it ? Just for now to at least get some training
I have been sort of thinking of getting a proper road bike for a while, and this has just come up as a suggestion for me on ebay:

This was rescued a couple of weeks ago from a garage for the second time in 3 years , not sure of it's exateage but I think about 10 years and if it's done more than 10 miles in that time I would be very surprised.
56cm alloy frame measured from the centre of the crank to the top of the...
I've got a Carrera Vanquish Road bike . I've had it several years and I've had no problems with it. I ride a lot on tow paths around the Lea Valley Park area and the paths can be quite rough. The Carrera handles it with no problems but the frame and forks are very rigid and unforgiving and you...
HI all,
I have a Merida 2016 Ride Disc 500 which is pretty underused as I tend to use my MTB but there are few mountains here in the east midlands just tracks and trails and my mtb is a bit overkill for this so I was wondering if I just got a spare set of wheels for off-road stuff for my Merida...
Hi, After the insurance company has finally given sent a cheque after the accident, I'm looking for a cheapish XL road bike to act as a commuter. Not really too bothered about make etc, but probably in the price £200-300, and as I'm 6'4", it has to be XL and in reasonable condition.
The Tektro brake blocks fitted as standard to the Triban 540 perform silent braking.
I want to fit identical ones on to my other bike. There does not appear to be any numbers on the Tektro blocks but I have not removed them. Anyone know?
White/Light blue. 100 Aluminium Frame (small / 50cm)

Hi all, been away for a while off bikes with severe elbow tendonitis. Now cleared up and looking to get back out there. Looking for a small road bike - budget around £250.
Thanks
I'm comparing Decathlon's inexpensive MTB Brake Pads (blocks) to their inexpensive Road Bike brake Pads (blocks).
I'm using the same bike, just swapping the brake Pads, they're setup the same distance from the wheel rim.
First impressions are that the longer MTB Pads are better at stopping.
This Claud Butler arrived with he Rotrax but sadly it's way too small for me at 20 1/2" from centre of crank to centre of seat pinch bolt .
The hubs and caliper's are date stamped 78 so i am going for a 1978 Claud Butler of unknown model and unsure of tubing forks are labelled as 531 but no...
Anyone see Tour de Romandy earlier? Hilly TT not too long and I thought it was interesting that he looked like he won on a normal road bike: not even any tri bars, unlike most of those behind him.
I’m looking at a couple of vintage road bikes on EBay with a 21” frame. Both are resto projects and would need some work to be usable so not looking at paying much. They are on 27” wheels, steel frame.
Just wondering if they might not be a little small for me as I’m 5’10” with 32 inside leg...

On the look-out for a second hand road bike, just to stick on the turbo. The one I use at the minute is showing major signs of wear and tear (I picked it up cheap at a local car boot sale)

Ok, I'm definitely aiming to do this.
The Scott has an 8-speed Sora with triple Ritchey chainring. The intention is to use the bars, levers, and shifters, if possible, from an 8-speed Altus hybrid. And to switch to the Altus triple chainring or get the matching Sora. Both are 48-38-28 compared...

As an avid watcher of Yianni the super car wrapper (https://yiannimize.com/) I was wondering if bike wrapping was a thing, and if so who does it professionally and who might do it themselves.
I imagine there is no cost benefit in wrapping a Alu, Steel or Carbon road bike but creatively the...
