Hi folks,
I’m brand new to road cycling and trying to choose my first bike through my employer's Cycle2Work scheme. I live in the Welsh Valleys with the Afan Valley roads just over the hill (a very steep one), so I need something that won’t give up halfway up the first climb — ideally before I do.
My shortlist so far:
Any advice, opinions, or gentle roasting welcome.
Cheers!

Any advice, opinions, or gentle roasting welcome.
