I would like need a new road bike and hardtail.
At the moment I have A scandium framed Ribble and a Canondale M600. I'm looking to move them on and replace them with carbon. I'd like to keep the road bike as close to £1k as possible and could perhaps go to £2k on the hardtail.
The road bike would be used for my commute (15miles each way) general fitness and perhaps some races (entered the Etape for next year.)
The hardtail will be used for more 'race' like rides such as the 10s, 'Puffer etc. as I've recently found myself thinking that perhaps my Golden Willow was a bit too much for them. I'd also maybe use it for towing my trailer when doing the weekly shop although I'm not sure how the frames would stand up to the strains of that?
Thus far my short list is as follows.
Road
Hardtail
What others should I be considering?
Cheers
Paul.
