Used to cycle a lot until around 6 years ago (had a basic giant hybrid which is very old)
Serious about getting back into it and the old bike just won't cut it. Looking to get something I can use on/off road – but I won’t be mountain biking (it’s Hampshire!) : Mix is more roads, some occasional tough hills with a light/medium track sometimes. Probably a 70:30 mix of road to non-road.
Looking to spend max 1K. If something magic happens just over I’d consider that too.
So …
Wondering whether hybrid or gravel?
Key thinks I should look for / avoid?
Brands to look for / avoid?
any pointers really appreciated.
