Ever since the memo came around that the cyclescheme is open until the end of January, I've always got my head stuck in a magazine or laptop browsing for a new bike.
I don't need one, can't really afford one, but keep looking at CX bikes and carbon framed road bikes just within my grasp of the £1000 scheme limit.
I think I've kind of got over my compulsion to get a CX by putting 35mm knobbly tyres on the old Carrera, this will be my bad weather bike. Put flat bars on the Cube peloton with gatorskins to commute on, then the Giant defy1 is my road bike for good weather.
I love the Giant, it fits me better than anything else I've rode and have no intention getting rid of it. Compelled though to get a "plastic bike" Doesn't help than a friend recently bought a Bianchi Infinito Athena, serious plastic.
Giant defy1 composite on 2014 is going for £1200, daren't go near it for a test ride with the credit card.....but a test ride at the weekend might be fun
