Just one proviso, I can't do drop bars!! Anything else goes…usual guff, 1k max.

Any panniers mounts?

Oh now you have criteria? 🙄

Any panniers mounts?

of course! what do you think the seat is attached to? 🙂

Boardman Hybrid Pro.

I thought the Govt would pull the cycle to work scheme so rushed in and got an On One 456 – but sort of regret it (it'll very soon be in the classifieds).

My latest want is for something with a hub gear – so I'd say Charge Duster 8 (if you can get a good enough deal) or a Genesis IO ID.

Spoke to Ross at Speeds about those on friday, the new IO are out mid october, with 2 versions..8 speed @ 1200 and 11 speed @ 1500.

Must admit, I don't expect the scheme to last too long long under the current govt.

Roadrat.

Cannondale bad boy? All black not white!

I have an 09 BadBoy, but if I was riding to work regularly i would definately go for the Boardman Hybrid – with full guards, rack, panniers – you can get it just under the 1K limit

…as long as your work is with Halfords cycle to work scheme

fair point !
