Hello from Sunny Manchester

Afternoon everyone!

Found my way here after I have begun the search for a new bike via my works cycle scheme and felt like my head was going to explode from the sheer variance out there! After riding my trusty 8 speed Voodoo Limba for the past 6 years, I thought it might be time for a change. But with every video on youtube and article telling me something different, I might just stick with what I have got its mad how something as simple as a bike becomes an incredibly difficult choice to make!

Ill take a look through the posts on here to see what others have and am looking forward to taking part in a challenge here too!

Cheers!

Welcome.

And I'm afraid you'll get a lot of contradictory advice here. Everyone will tell you that if you like your bike, keep it. But they'll also tell you that you should get a new bike.

Speaking of which have you seen any you like?

Welcome to the madhouse 👋

Good on ya for joining up to one of the CC Challenges. It does give you incentive to ride…….👍

Speaking of which and your new bike quandary: I’m currently down to just the 9 bikes. The cheapest and least racy is the one I find most comfy / enjoying riding the most; and so gets used 85% of the time. Make of that what you will……..

Good luck either way.
