Hi, I just bought a bike after many, many years away and I love it.

What did u buy ?

To see what I would like to do I bought a Carrera Subway 1. I know it's a hybrid but my next bike will be different

Nice bikes - bit heavy but ok. Mine's up for sale now - prefer the Dawes road bike and it wasn't getting any use.

Much depends on your budget, needs and requirements, preferences, double or triple chainring, range of cogs on rear cassette (for hilly and/or flat riding), cantilever or disc brakes, even colour etc.

Here's a selected few from Evans https://www.evanscycles.com/bikes/h...=most_popular&priceIncMin=397&priceIncMax=750 but there is a massive and confusing choice for you.

Let us know what you think you might like and we'll point you in the right direction.

Hi and .
What part of Sunderland are from? I used to live on Roker Bath Road in the late 70's.

 

[Teakt]

I live in High Barnes, I know Roker Bath Road and I also remember the 70`s. Am I getting old or what (60) in April, where did the time go.

 

[Teakt]

Totally agree with Dayvo about the bike.

I'm looking at the bad boys right now on ipad. I want it for everyday riding I'd use it for manc-blackpool charity ride but could do with it being able to hold pannier rack front and back
