That’s a lovely looking “utility” bike.

I've got a 14yo that would relieve you of some pocket money for that lawn & bushes. 😉

I like that bike, very much a potter/audax without pretentious of being anything else, nice buy.

I've always felt sorry for Will, but he's a survivor!

Looks ace, Ton. Got big plans for it?

I've got a sort of new audax bike too. Or at least a new arrangement of bike parts, which is a new experience. 1987 frame. commuting rack and longboard mudguards off, new (shorter) cranks, bar tape and levers, shifter, cassette and derailleur nicked off the cross bike, wheels nicked off the wife's neglected roadie. same tyres, same everything else. Feels bloody lovely!

Triple on a road bike makes so much sense, close(ish) ratios but can get up hills without dying.
Nice bike.

That's a tall bike for sure, the scaffolders want their head tube back 🤣

Jokes aside, it's refreshing to see a bike built to fit, rather than built for fashion 👍

God damn it, can we start adding (not mountain bike) in the title to avoid disappointment.

Lovely bike, the colour is the dogs b#######. Love the disc brakes which will be great on wet descents fully loaded. Not sure about the bar end shifters or the triple but each to their own. I’m sure you will eat up the miles on her, happy riding 👍🏽
