Hi all,
I've been member on here for a long time now, and bought a Marin Lucas Valley in August 2016 to use for London to Brighton. I did that and the bike sat in the garage for a year after I experienced some sciatica problems. It came out briefly last year and is now in full commission as I get back into cycling, covering 12-20 miles per day on my allotted exercise. This is pretty much all road, although I'd like to do some travel paths or something too, but the bike feels a bit flimsy for that. The specs can be found here
My issue is this. I'm bored. I think the bike is in great condition, but it's just not doing it for me. I've found myself looking around at used road bikes and high end hybrids. For what I do, and with a budget of £400 plus whatever I get selling the Marin, should I move it on or do I continue with what is in fairness a decent bike?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
