Been looking on-line at new road bikes…
(TdF related – maybe… summer weather realted, maybe not)
I got in to mtb in the mid 90s, but rode on the road before that…
But road bikes look a lot different in the (almost) 20 years since I bought / built my last one
I have concluded that I don’t know what I am looking at, but have an idea what I am looking for. Always liked Italian bikes, and fancied a Colnago, Pinarello or Bianchi – yes, I accept, there is a healthy dose of aethetics / vanity in that thinking
Show me some droolworthy bikes that might interest me.
ETA – I still ride the Paganini. I find it very twitchy after mtbing, and the frame is a tad small
for sunny days – carbon beast totally out of my league in terms of what is was designed for but oh so comfy and fast.
for wet and mud and trails – love this bike as is very responsive and was less than £1K, real swiss army knife IFYKWIM, can be had with disc brakes these days.
