I'm considering getting (another) one and need some ideas.
It wants to be a geared mountain bike, and for simplicity, let's stick to the £1k(ish) standard maximum.
Go crazy and show me what you've got....
i'll post a pic later but i've just got a boardman cx bike to ride to work on. Its nice but th stem is far to long and the bars way to narrow, once thats sorted i'll give an updated opinion
I got this (frame only)

And an 06 Langster which I don't have any pics of
This is mine:

Slightly indirect though, as I actually bought a Tricross but then found I was mountain biking more so wasn't using it - so swapped it for the Zion frame and a few bits.
This is what I'd actually purchased though:

I could get another bike on the scheme now but am struggling to find anything I like for under £1K, except for road bikes and I wouldn't use one of those enough to justify it.
Got this first time around and it's done sterling service as a commuter and tourer.

Went a bit racier for the second one.

why stick to the limit? just see it as £400 quid off a new bike/frame, i got an orange 5 frame and my wife got a rocky ridge. she uses it lots (ahem)
Most useful bike in my arsenal:

why stick to the limit?
The scheme we're in doesn't allow going over the £1k limit.
Most schemes won't go over £1k as your company would need a credit license. Most companies don't already have one so stick with the limit.

This is my Bike2Work purchase.

Some shops allow you to add to the £1000 limit. For example my £1000 ride to work bike came with a £350 camelbak bottle.

i use a bike for work. does that count?
When I had my own firm, bought my 5 spot as we did have a credit license 🙂 Charged the firm 2p a mile to ride it as well. Result.
Just got this on the b2w scheme

Same as CX stem Waaay to long, otherwise amazing. Given that it's a road bike.
ah i didnt realise there were issues with adding to it, my friendly lbs has always sorted it for me and hinted that they probably shouldnt but i was too busy drooling over new bikes to pay attention.
some interesting things...
the company i work for also has a credit license so i could potentially get something very sparkly.
i'm just having a nose about for some ideas to tempt me - don't really have the space for a 6th bike but i'm sure it could be found..
