I got back into cycling almost 2 years ago now.
So, I have now made a decision as to what to do re the bikes I currently have.
I have a full sus Saracen MTB...that's going - I can't physically ride like that anymore so it's not needed. Bought new in 2005 I'm quite attached to it so it'll be a wrench but...
The Specialized Myka hardtail, which I got last year, stays.
It's ideal for trails etc and is more suited to the type of riding I can do now.
The Dawes hybrid, which was got last year but due to me having surgery, has only just been ridden this year - stays. I actually really enjoy riding it now, something I never thought I'd hear myself say!
And that leaves a gap in the stable....so I am going to buy a sports hybrid as I think 3 bikes will cover the sort of riding I do;
The Dawes hybrid for shopping and town and possibly a couple of days overnighters (this is a goal)...
The hardtail MTB for playing in the forests and riding trails...
and the Sports hybrid for towpaths and other riding where the above isn't required.
I think I have it sussed!
Now to start looking...although I may wait until towards the end of the year and get a bargain!
Any suggestions as to make/model are welcome!
