You have £1000 to spend in Evans, you can top up a few hundred quid if you think it is worth it, what would you buy?

Tis what I'd buy anyway...
^^^^^^^^ +1
now that is an interesting prospect, is the geared rear hub any good?
A Boxxer Team probably.
Or a nice road bike.

Oh yes - standard Alfine fayre, good enough to take the round the world record.

i rode one of those 853 altitudes a few months ago and it was a great trail bike. ROde much better than the whyte 19 trail i had before that.
£1300 has just bought me a Lapierre Zesty 214 from Evans
They have that exact model genesis in my LBS - very nice looking bike. It's also reviewed in this months cycling plus and they gave it a pretty good review.

I noticed some pretty well kitted out FELT Compulsion full sussers going for a song around £1100. I wasn't in the market for anything new, but they looked OK - don't know much about them. BTW - Evans Reading
Got a Zesty 214. Can't wait to take it out to play.
😀
Another +1 for Zesty 214. Love mine. Bargain at that price. Can't think of anything I'd rather have at that price (Anthem came close though...)
