Yeah tops the green is ace but green bikes are a bit ubiquitous round here. I do like the black triangle tho, especially when paired with the pikes

After practically begging an LBS to take my money for a month decided to drive somewhere they had one of these in stock:

Fits like a glove (now I've changed the pedals, stem & grips). Might not look flash but Whyte have got the geometry spot on for hybrids IMO.

No plans whatsoever of changing what I've got which are, a Spesh Allez road bike (hardly used) a custom steel 26" HT & a 26" Filing Cabinet. 😆

No point in changing what you like already (IMO)

@BillOddie - I ran the older version of that for a while to replace a 456 Summer Season. It was great fun, highly recommended. I ran it with 160mm Bomber 66's on. Light it was not.

Next bike for me is probably a Giant Defy 1, got a roadie itch that needs scratching.

Plus you need Blue pedals to match the blue anodising on the frame
