Too good a bargain to miss out on. I thought I’d use it as a donor bike for a custom Ti fatbike frame but I’ve not felt the need to replace the frame. Looking forward to my second winter on it.
Last Frame was a Flaremax, Last full bike a Pickenflick. I nearly pushed the button on a Diverge last week as a new commuter but then my LBS showed me the Ridley Kanzo Fast.
I am looking to replace this next year which I’m posting for @footflaps benefit, albeit yesterday I realise what a mine field it is so currently can’t be bother to consider that:
As a family we have sold more this year than we have bought.
Fist up was a Stumpy ST when Evans were selling them off at silly prices.
Next was an impulse purchase Levo SL in lockdown after cancelling the Alps trip. Swapped quite alot of the stuff out for what we had in the garage so its nothing like the photo
Had been looking for a frame for Abigale for quite some time when she found a full bike at a bargain price
It was supposed to be used as a family bike but when she returned from a month of wild camping in the Alps and couldn’t stop talking about it we decided to source another.
Managed to find one just for me and swapped some stuff over from another bike.
Sold three bikes in the last couple of weeks and just got one left to sell.
Overall upgrades with not much outlay in the end. Once the last one sells will probably be at break even for the year
Bought this for commuting, been great – 1*11 is all I need for the commute. Not riding it much since lockdown as we’re mostly out on the tandem (the bike I bought prior to this, as it happens), I’m on;y using it for popping to the shops and so on.
Just before March lockdown got a Vitus Sommet CRS (2019 version) and then a month ago bought a new Spesh Diverge Elite. On the flip side, I also sold an older Diverge and my 2011 Spesh Stumpy FSR Elite…so have only maintained an overall ‘n’ equilibrium 😉
Newest is a Whyte E-160, replaced a T-130 as my daily full suss. Loving the ‘fitting more riding into the available time’ aspect. Did a 33-mile night ride last night, then home for tea 👍🏻
Bronson C Frame bought new at the start of the year with a deal from Pedal&Spoke. Wheels added in May and it now wears a set of Lyrik Ultimates. Still running GX 11spd which refuses to die.
A Stanforth custom 853 filet brazed jobbie to replace a venerable 531c 1980’s era tourer put through a Volvo flavoured mangle last year. Awaiting its maiden tour due to COVID-19.
