So a few weeks ago, I became a CCIE. For anyone who doesn't know - it's basically an Expert level Networking exam that I spent a lot of time preparing for.
Anyway, as my treat for passing - in a few months time I am going to buy a proper nice bike as while my CBE100 is "OK", I want something awesome. I've had a few ideas for what I want, but basically: -
I want a one-bike for all thing, I'm not too worried about having multiple bikes.
Primarily my 5-8 mile commute is what I want it for.
But I want to be able to use it for other trips about as well - not interested in Mountain Biking.
A good friend of mine has recommended a Genesis Croix de Fer 20 which fits my budget (£1200) as it is a Cyclocross bike for commuters, so it will be handy for other things other than commuting. He also recommended I buy a frameset and build it custom like, but I am unsure of this method. I've not a clue what parts go with what and I've had a look into it and not sure what I need to buy in order to accomplish this.
I am willing to stretch a bit more mooney too if there is something better.
