Since so many of us spend time surfing bike bargains. I would like a £1000 disc braked road Gravel bike, I can top up a voucher.Has anybody seen anything worth having, with the exception of PX/On one? (never again)In a perfect world I would get hydraulic brakes for that. I am also 6"3" for any wee folk who have found the dream defy and it is only in a L, you loss is my gain!
Bought a [url= http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/boardman-cx-team-bike ]boardman cx team[/url] from Halfords a few weeks ago and I'm very, very pleased with it.
Although it's back up to £1k from the £800 it was on at when I bought it. Plus 10% bc discount, plus 11.5% discount on halfords vouchers through employee benefits, plus 3% back through quidco it was rude not to.
Ah just realised cycle scheme might not be the halfords one.
Pinnacle Arkose?
I've got one with Hydro Discs which was £1k last year.
It isn't quite as nimble as my Giant Defy (both have 105 level group sets) and is 2Kg heavier, but has been a great winter road bike/light tourer (rode from London to Paris on it last month)
I'm planning to upgrade the wheels to a set of Hope/Pacenti hand-builts before next winter, which should knock a few grams off and liven it up a bit.
Good point; the pinnacles get good press here, I can also use Halfords Gary, so thanks for the suggestion.
I also have a Pinnacle Arkose 4, great commuter but a bit ponderous.
You can use cyclescheme vouchers for a Boardman if you buy directly rather than through Halfords.
I got [url= http://www.rapidebikes.co.uk/bikes/aluminium-disc/rl2-disc ]one of these[/url] as an insurance settlement earlier this year, and while I had no expectations of it at all (I really wanted something esle), I have come to love it.
And I am even happy with the mechanical discs. That said, if you really hate mechanical, you can always top up by £100 and get the model up.
I had a bunch of bookmarks for just this scenario.. let me go and click on them and see if any are still live... back soon.
The wonders of stw; I had never heard of them Saxon; what is the weight like? I am also admiring various reduced cannondale incarnations.
Only live link I've found so far is [url= https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/bike/rose-pro-sl-disc-2000-hydraulic/aid:891895?frombikeoverview=1&bikevariantchanged=891931 ]Rose bikes[/url], but I dunno if you can use a voucher with them!
+1 on the Arkose.
My local Evans let me top up to get the Hydro 105 version.
I commute on it, and have ridden it loaded up for things like the Gravel Dash.
I like it.
Cube CX Pro?
Oh balls, I missed the word [i]gravel[/i] 😆
