A Big Kid got the better of me today .......

I went out to get a nice hybrid with offish road capability , Trek FX was on the radar , it dropped off radar when I saw this !
The Big Kid was my inner self !!!

So, when are you going back to get the nice hybrid you want?

Don't think I've ever seen a bike where the crankset is smaller than the biggest rear sprocket. You could climb trees on that.

My next bike is going to be something more off road orientated,
but no suspension thanks.

Nice bike though, the OP must have a job in mind for it,
I hope they get great service from it, happy days.

I was thinking the same. My old bike shop owner used to say, 'you can climb a brick wall with those gears'.

Why on earth would you want a hybrid, when you can have a hard tail.

There’s a lot of peddling in them , legs going ten to the dozen , 11 speed , one factor was I got about £180 of list price , but it does the job well , I’ll probably fit some Exotic carbon forks on it ,I’m not keen on the suss forks and they are heavy , it climbs extremely well , which is good for me with a gammy leg
