I've gone and bought another Bike (from a LBS)

*Looks round to see if Blazed the Halfords Homie is watching*

This

Couldn't wrangle any discount, being a 2010 bike an all. But did get over £100 worth of pedals & accessories for free (would Halfords do that? I think not).

Bought mainly for the commute and wet weather riding (don't like to take the Carbon out in wet weather, tart that I am). Pick it up on 28th August.

Now.... just have to tell 'er indoors that we will have another new addition to the family.

Quite frankly, I can't fathom why you Londoners bother with doubles - a 53 should get you up pretty much any of the "hills" that London has to offer...

a 53 would be ok for me getting out of London into Kent... but not back again

Lol! Good on ya' Ian for supporting the local LBS economy
You will have shares in Specialized before long

What's this bike for - commuting?

 

[ianrauk]

Commuting indeed SD, and also for wet weather rides when I don't wanna take out the Carbon. It's also some nice eye candy for when ilovebikes comes round to clean/fettle his bike.

hehehe - excellent
