With my immaculate timing thinking of a winter road bike to replace the 'well loved' Kona Jake. Don't need the CX ability anymore, times are a changing.
Must have mudguard clearance, the tart in me doesn't like the Ribble frame. Much as I'd love a VN Yukon or something similar in titanium a more sensible beast is required.
Anyone have any experiences of the Tifosi or Kinesis, certainly around the quality of paint finish (paint falls off the Kona after giving it a Paddington Bear hard stare).
Not a racer, might get used for a sportive or two this year, mostly slog maybe to work, winter sunday rides etc. (hence m/guards).
