You mention the Sirrus. Nice bike. I have the female equivalent, the Vita and like it. I do get numb hands after a while though but easily remedied with some bar ends which I'll get at some point.I'm thinking of a new bike, I've asked the friendly community for some suggestions in the hybrid section. So far I have one not very relevant answer. It's quite similar to here really, no sense at all.
Thanks Mo, some sense! In tea! Wonders never cease, etc,etc,!
I know what you mean re Specialized and pricing. I was lucky when I got mine as it was reduced towards the end of the year. Just has v brakes though and discs would be nice but the disc version now does seem a tad overpriced. You could probably do worse than Halfords Carrera Subway when they have one of their numerous sales!Thanks Mo, some sense! In tea! Wonders never cease, etc,etc,!
Yeah, my mate Nige had his 'new' one, he drove on the day I was struggling to get my brakes degunked, replacement pads and re cabled so I borrowed his Sirrus for the day (I had helped him to choose it from the shop so wasn't surprised he was liking it..) He had it set up for a more upright sitting style than I like and was suffering with the V-Brake pad/rim wear with the gunk just as much. I liked the lightness after taking my heaviest bike but I don't think Spesh offer the best value when you look at getting a disc version new. I fancy a bit more beefy as well, more cross focussed than pure road.
My research today has thrown this Felt up, can't ride one locally though... I may have a look at a Whyte Cambridge too, there's a local stockist for those..
That does look nice. Good range of gears for the hills too.My research today has thrown this Felt up, can't ride one locally though... I may have a look at a Whyte Cambridge too, there's a local stockist for those..
So modest & self deprecating too...
This is an important thing for Devon... not as long and high as yours but shorter, sharper and come as often as corners do...
There's always stephecs next bike to consider getting!Thanks Mo, some sense! In tea! Wonders never cease, etc,etc,!

Where did the tow bar problem get sorted out? Tea.Thanks Mo, some sense! In tea! Wonders never cease, etc,etc,!

Where were they sorted though?They took about ten posts each. How many are we up to now?
