Just used my Genesis Fortitude race to ride the Dorset 330. Such a great and versatile bike, perfect for winter bimbling.

Something cheap and preferably second-hand that you can ride into the ground and not feel guilty about.
Guilty about - WTAF?
Just ride the bike(s) you own, end of.

29er 1x10 11-46 hardtail/rigid with a dropper, decent brakes & shorty/hillbilly up front
