I’m kinda stuck, want (don’t need) a bike on our in house ran bike to work scheme, so have a theoretical budget of £1000.
Don’t want anything drop bar, don’t really get on with them, even though the idea of a gravellish bike is slightly appealing…it’ll just be a hybrid at the end of the day.
I’ve a 29er hardtail as my main bike, but was contemplating a rigid 27+, or hardtail 27+, but part of me thinks maybe something FS in the sales would be a nicer addition, as the plus bike may end up just being a very similar alternative to the bike I already have….
plus bikes I’m thinking of include (that are avaialable):
Genesis Tarn
Pinnacle Ramin plus
Orbea Loki
A Stache 5 if I can find one.
FS bikes, I’ve no idea, but probably something more on the shorter travel trail type (i.e 130/140 rather than 160mm), or Id’ even consider something XC too.
If I could find a way of buying an old Cannodale prophet on B2W I would, but it doesn’t work that way..:-(
I’ve heard that folk have bought frames, or F&F packages on company ran B2W previoulsy, is it feasible to spec, source and build one bespoke as long as it’s under £1k?
