On the whole, when we spank some money on a shiny new bike we tend to lean to the side of praising it to the hilt, to anyone who will listen to justify the kind of expenditure that has taken place.
However, deep down has there been a bike that for whatever reason had you wanting to get it on eBay?
Mine was a 2009 Lapierre Zesty 914, bought whilst living and working in Belgium with tax free and NATO discount, the only way I could ever afford the top model. The problem with this bike and one that Lapierre have improved every year since was it’s almost horizontal seat angle…. So much bling, but a right pig on the uphills. 6 of us bought them on our base and we rode them in events all over Beglium. Nobody ever admitted to not liking them until now.
Silenced by pride…. 😉
