Looking for a carbon bike

[vickster]

Well, I suppose 'Andy' could be short for 'Andrea' ?

It could be the name of someone or something completely different. I'm guessing your first name isn't Stompier

Could be, there's a bloke called de Pfeffel who is a cyclist.

Have a look at Evans website and look through the various bike options they’ve got: Road, MTB or hybrid. See what you like, look at the prices and read through the reviews. That should start you in the right direction.

Good luck

Many thanks

Great. What kind of carbon bike? Road, mountain, hybrid?

What kind of riding?

What size?

What budget?

Willing to pay around £1000. 58" frame. Road bike

I would need a parachute to get off something that large, I hope you find what you are looking for, I enjoy my carbon road bike but it seldom gets used now the roads are in such poor condition around here.

Think you might mean 58cm

What sort of road bike, racing, endurance, touring, commuting, utility, or a combination thereof ?

58cm or 23” - just my size too. I’m sure there’s plenty available

Carbon might not be the best then if wanting to carry luggage

Just remember there's carbon and then there's carbon not all frames are made the same and price may well reflect that.

@Andy 123 if you know your size and are happy to buy without a test ride than Planet X is worth a look. A Pro Carbon with the excellent SRAM Rival can be had for £799.
The Planet X geometry charts are worth looking at and comparing them to the bike(s) you already own.
