I think it you are 5'10 a medium is small. I'll show you a pic of mine at some point, lots of seat post! Find somewhere to ride a medium and large r7 model

I'd love to try one out but the only local dealer (40 miles away) has not got any built to try... Said to come back in 2 weeks
He did say that the 2015 models would suit 5ft10in in large and 2014 or older in a medium for Portabello or Cambridge.

I think at 5'10 for the Cambridge you are really on the cusp

The Boardman Hybrid Team is £750, your local Halfords might do you a discount if you ask.

The Hybrid Team has a Carbon Fork and a decent groupset (SRAM Apex). Also has everything you need to fit mudguards and panniers.

I was recently let down by Halfords after ordering the Hybrid Comp, they then offered me a free upgrade to the Hybrid Team... I spoke to them yesterday and they agreed to sell me the Hybrid Pro for £750 (rather than £999.99).

Just to update I decided to stick with the Ridgeback for now as nothing I fancied was available local for me to try and/or reduced to my budget so have postponed replacing the hybrid for now.

Instead I grabbed a Giant Defy 1 from Rutland Cycling to replace my road bike. I use that 5 times a week compared to the hybrid once a fortnight so will get more enjoyment from it.

The Defy cost £699 less 3% quidco and about £14 rewards points to spend at Rutland Cycling so technically the bike was £664.

I've been told to sell the Raleigh 400 Airlite (2009) as n+1 is now > s.

Is it easier to sell it now or in a month as a winter bike ? Any idea on value ?
