So, as the title suggests, I have a big birthday coming up. Next June so plenty of time to mull over and research.
Current bike is a Giant Contend, aluminium endurance bike. Had it for 18 months and love it. Highlight of my time with her being a 3 day London - Paris ride. Only really been into cycling for 2 years but am now a total convert.
I'd like to spend up to 5k (hopefully my missus never reads this forum!) - on a really decent endurance bike, with a bit of zip. Lightweight (doesn't have to be carbon), some sexy deep rims, preferably integrated cockpit with no cables on show. Not fussed about electronic gears.
What shouldI I be considering?
