Hi all, I'm changing bikes from a trekker type Gazelle Chamonix T24 to a gravel bike. Found the Gazelle a wonderful bike for what I needed it for it far too heavy for taking over stiles on country cycle tracks. I'll be commuting with it too.
Fallen for the Genesis CDA20, on sale at my local bike shop for £750, but hate the colour. It's too ostentatious and a bit over-the-top for me, would like something light and under the radar. I liked the ride on it though, speedier than I expected and a nice riding position .
I have a budget of about £850 on the Cycle To Work Scheme and want a bike that's light enough to carry over stiles, preferably has drop handlebars with grip, and clearance for 35mm tyres with mudguards.
Any recommendations? Female, 5.8, relatively long limbed - the CDA I tried was the men's large and fit well!
Thanks. Ruth.
