Right after more searching I’ve decided on a gravel bike. Budget is ride to work scheme which is £1000 which the Boardman comes straight in at. The other two are the canon Topstone or the canyon 6.0 but that are an extra £250. I think it will be mainly back roads around the villages so not loads of gravel. First bike for a long time but really want to crank up a few miles. What’s people’s opinions please, appreciate your time
Which gravel bike? the Boardman 8.9adv 8.9 cannon Topstone Tiagra disc or canyon al 6.0

They do but only via the Green Commute Initiative scheme
Thank you, maybe I’ll just pump for the 8.9. At least I can go to Halfords and try it out

All three good bikes, only experience I have is trying out a Topstone at Evans, built like a tank, but unfortunately weighs about the same, so was discounted on that basis.
Thank you bud. I think it will be the Boardman just because it is bang on price. Might see if can haggle down to £900 so can get water bottle helmet etc

Can’t see you being able to haggle on C2W as they have to pay 10% admin fees
Ahh ok. Maybe get something thrown in
