I have a prototype monster gravel thing arriving december-ish to do mad/bad things with and generally see if I can kill it.
I have been fortunately able to buy a few bikes recently. I got a Fugio 30 back in May, and then later in the summer a couple of ebikes; a Levo SL followed by a Creo. The ebikes have been transformational for me, given that I have a few heart issues.
I do have a basic alloy winter road bike on order..
though I really need to sell my Croix de Fer first..
Nowt.
Transition Spur to replace my old Tallboy 2. Can't wait for it to arrive.
New Stumpy Evo. Should be imminent 🙂
Money no object I think I'd have a Transition Spur, built light, to do everything on. As I'm trying to save however, I'll probably just plump for some new wheels and tyres for my Cotic Flare.
Bought a Merlin gravel bike in the summer, already fancy swapping the frame for something steel...
Pulled the trigger on a BTR Ranger in August. It might be ready in the Spring!
Another Transition Smuggler, this time a v2 in xl. Angleset going in, hopefully the trail bike I’m after

@Shred, it'll be worth the wait, you'll love it! Have you gone full build or frame only?

I change me pants less often than you change your bikes Chris... 😂
I would honestly be disowned by my family if I had any more bikes (6 + motorbike at the moment) but I really really fancy a cheapo 2nd hand Kona Stinky or similar to see if I have the balls to do any big downhill type riding.
Wait for everyone else to get a shiny new bike and wait for them to sell their old ones
@lawman91, I ordered a X01 build, but am asking if I can change to frame only to build up with Shimano XT and my own wheels.
Currently loving my trailbike 140/130 27.5, and hardtail 130mm 29er. Both are excellent, they have their different uses with a bit of overlap.
Something in me yearns for a big travel bruiser more suited for downhilling, alps etc. Limited to 2 bikes by storage space (and the reality of how often they would get ridden) more than money; although the reality is that now I've become accustomed to nice brakes and suspension wheels and so on I'd be looking at £4k plus for something I'd like, and may not get a lot of use...
This feeling usually comes when watching some racing on TV, Then I actually go ride one of my bikes and love it and cant see myself parting with either.
I also have a Spur frame on order.

Nice! Hope they have stock due of the frame or the due date could slip back a long way, I've heard new orders are close to February/March or even later.
Decided to retire the HB160 and put a deposit down on a full build Deviate Highlander. Hopefully here in Jan.
I'm fancying a long travel 29er, not sure what yet.
@Tracey - where have you advertised your Enduro?

Maybe a replacement for my planet X London road. It's my do it all bike but in commuting mode I am unable to put both a rack and guards on as the thread in on of the mounting points has gone. I might be able to get it sized up to take a bigger screw but there's not a lot of material there to play with. It also needs a couple of new riv nuts on the seat stats for the rack as well. All fixable I'm sure but it's 5 years old with 5 year old components. Thinking of biting the bullet and getting one of these as a replacement. Seems pretty good spec for the money with the only competition the (admittedly cheaper) Boardman ADV but I think the slightly better spec and looks justify the extra.
Dreaming of a custom Sonder Broken Signal Ti with a pinion.
Might have to eradicate the wife first though
Raaw Madonna mk2 would be my choice of second bike (to compliment my Norco optic).
But equally I know it would be overkill for 99% of my riding.
Would look good in the garage tho….
Currently on a search for a disk road bike, I've never had a "posh" road Bike so am pushing the boat out a little. Currently deciding on two:
a) Scott Addict RC 30, standard spec and saving later for a nice pair of carbon wheels later. The sensible choice.
b) Bianchi Oltre XR3, I found a shop which will negotiate a pair of FFW 50's bringing it to the same - albeit more immediate - price of the Scott + wheels. This is the less sensible choice but well, Celeste and Countervail.
Just call me Sherlock😀
Hi Sherlock! Don't know how I missed that! Ta
The only thing that's really floating my boat right now is a Stooge, I think they look amazing!
Just to lower the tone, road bike alert! Trek Emonda SLR Project One. Just pulled the trigger earlier today, bike will be ready in March....hopefully!
Just bought a Giant TCR Advanced 1 road bike so will be a few years yet before I get another.
When I do I will likely be mid-40's so have vague plan to buy some kind of Specialized Roubaix after 5-6 years of being battered by the TCR.
2021 Singular Swift.
Will be built onto a Travers Russ Ti 27.5+/29 frame which I picked up for an absolute bargain price; near mint condition, Hope headset and RaceFace BB.
Hopefully a small On One Inbred 29er frame & fork, preferably in orange & cheap.
On the original thread I advised I’d ordered a Sonder Camino GRX back the start of July.
Spoke to Neil at Sonder today, he tells me the bike is currently being built, woohoo!
So, a Sonder Camino GRX end of the week (or start of next)... 🤪
Just bought an Orbea Oiz yesterday, Forbidden druid on order and due in soon to replace the way too short Rallon I've been trying to like for a year or so.
If the Cycle solutions website ever gets any stock in I'll be looking to pick up an Orange hardtail either the Crush or the P7, quite like the look of the Crush MX. Have to use Cycle Solutions for bike to work scheme.
Looking to change my frame on the main bike, was weighing up the 2020 Enduro vs The Raaw Madonna V2, but that stumpjumper evo has caught my attention as a complete, it'll suit a larger portion of my riding more I think and be more playful then the two frames I am looking at which are essentially ploughing wagons...
New Stumpy Evo. Should be imminent
@Hob-nob be interested to hear your thoughts when yours arrives
Looking at the Trek Supercaliber. I’m transitioning from road to off road. My gravel bike (a Cannondale Slate) is pretty good off road but something a bit more beefy would be nice. Will be used for riding around natural trails in Deeside (Ballater) and Speyside (Cairngorms) and future bikepacking trips. My knowledge of mountain bikes is not great so it’s a steep learning curve for me.
Waiting for insurance money to arrive any day now, then I'm looking at buying:
A nice steel 29er hardtail
A supersix evo
A steel or alloy graveller
E-bike (nothing specific yet) - pencilled in for my 60th in couple years
A really nice folder,that's not a Brompton.
Sold my Canyon Nerve for what I wanted for it - quite happy about that.
I have a YT Izzo Pro ordered, build date is the 2nd December. Need to pay for it soon.
The YT Mill is about 40 mins drive from my house so almost an LBS 🙂
Also looking for an M6R Brompton for Mrs Dubs (She's appropriated my M3L and I want it back) but that can wait until the spring.
Ibis Ripley, i've been scouring the internets for months looking for a frame.
If anyone is looking to move a large or even extra large please give us a msg!!
Given how much road riding I'm doing these days, something faster and shinier and hopefully with electronic shifting, so probably one of:
- Orbea Orca OMX (M10i or similar)
- Scott Addict RC
- Cannondale SuperSix Evo
- possibly the Canyon Aeroad
I've got a Shand Bahookie Rohloff on order - frame is currently being brazed - so hoping it's not tooooo far away!

Got my eye on a Whyte 909 currently on eBay but also keep going back to the advert for Traceys enduro (even though I cant ride for shit).
Cash is tight so second hand for me all the way.
E-Bike for me, maybe this time next year or the year after that. Nothing definite chosen yet though but airing towards the Levo purely due to the dealership backup for when it goes wrong.
New Bike ?, think ive just decided.
Spoke to Ben(is it?) at Kinetics in Glasgow about doing a test ride on an R&M packster 40 and the multicharger.
Arranged to go in this week and try them, though he's only got the mixte multicharger in for test. Can be ordered though.,
I'll try both but I reckon it's going to be the basic multicharger. And I think it would be better for bikepacking/camping wise, even getting the train north Scotland its a better more acceptable bike shape for the train people(they can be a bit funny at times.
It's this pandemic, and ive just come through another virus, showing despite precautions, you can get a cold and the like. So with that in mind, and rather than wait till i've raised the other half(saved about 1/2) im just going to pig into the savings and take it from there.
Point being, need to be alive to spend those savings 😆
Got a Banshee Titan on order. I'll transfer what I can from the Aeris onto it and get a new fork, shock and front wheel.
Annoying that you can't buy them without a shock in the UK so I'll have to flog the X2 that it comes with to fund things.
