Winter bike

[vickster]

I've just put full mudguards on my Sirrus sport will do as my winter bike - that said I am a fair weather cyclist so it'll likely have a nice time tucked up in the shed

I'd get an alu hybrid/tourer with decent tyres for the winter

My Trek hybrid is getting prepared for the winter, full guards, 28mm tyres and good and heavy for extra training.

Can't wait

Why a carbon bike?
A great thing to do in the winter is to ride a heavier bike. A nice bit of training
Especially as it can be harder to get the miles in during the winter due to the weather and it's not always safe to go as fast.

I would buy a good alu/steel/ti frame which is cheap to run and can take full length mudguards.

+1. I certainly wouldn't buy a cf bike for winter, mind you I wouldn't buy a cf bike full stop but I'll leave that there I'm just putting the finishing touches to my Peugeot aluminium framed winter build, full length 'proper' mudguards, jobs a good 'un
