Have a gravel bike by them. Don’t use it much it’s on the turbo but it’s a very nice bike.

I've had a Pinnacle Pyrolite for a good few years now and its served me well. Its a very well made, lovely riding alu bike that took everything that was thrown at it including a tough old all weather daily commute and a couple of long distance European tours. Its now been relegated to emergency spare due to newer purchases.
However..seeing as Evans are now owned by Ashley. Who knows what the quality is like now. At least with Evans, I think you can still test ride.

My partner has a Pinnacle Arkose gravel bike. The spec was way, way better than anything else in the same price range. It's a great bike & she loves it.

Don’t think anymore, not mentioned on website, maybe due to Covid

Evans don't make the bikes and I prefer to do my own PDI anyway, so buying from them would not worry me.

I'm hankering after a bike again, which will mean I've made more bloody comebacks than Frank Sinatra. Can't be faffed with twitchy road bikes anymore at my age and a nice upright position with simple 1x7 drive train appeals.

We shall see.

I also have an Arkose, I really rate it. I have 2 sets of hoops for it so it does off-road duties and doubles up for winter on road, with slicks and mudguards.

You can buy second hand off someone who bought it pre Ashley

A case of can’t rather than won’t for me. I used to buy loads of bits and the service was very good but now they won’t even send down here which I find very odd. Used to have a great variety of stuff but now it’s very limited. I don’t care much who’s running a business as long as it gets me what I want but now we have a Decathlon down here I can get most from there.

My wife has a Pinnacle Stratus 3 and it's been great. Light and quick rolling. She loved it. Was about £550 over 10 years ago.

I hope you don't own anything Trek related..... sponsored the worlds biggest cycling cheat.

I have a Pinnacle Dolomite as my winter bike and it is more than capable - the hubs only lasted a couple of years so I upgraded the wheels and I had some problems with disc callipers (leaks), but the frame itself has been great.
