I'm still knocking about on my Cannondale Prophet and love it. I wouldn't fancy trying to get a new bike just now.

Glad I got a new (road) bike last January, just before the world as we knew it ended!

The full susser should be good for some years yet with Hope brgs, hubs etc.

I managed to get a couple of bargains last year, both on brand new second-hand bikes (oddly, both bought by their original owners from Evans). The first of these was a still boxed Cannondale Habit that I bought in Dec ‘19 from someone looking to free up funds to go travelling (...not sure that went to plan). The second was a Norco Bigfoot bought between lockdowns from someone who needed the cash as they’d been furloughed. Both of these were less than half price. There’s no way I could justify buying either for current market values.
