Hi And welcome, just a thought? the ride is through work? maybe poundland could register for the cycle to work scheme. you could then upgrade your bike without having to pay all in one go.

as i said just a though, as got back into cycling last summer with an mtb. was like riding in treacle. got myself a tricross at christmas and has transformed the way i ride. needless to say mtb hasnt seen the light of day since.
