Right after a lot of bad luck on eBay and looking at a few bikes I’ve more or less made my mind up on n+1.
Even Mrs 73 like’s it so it’s got the official approval.
As it will be an all round bike which gear combo would work best for Winter / bad weather road use , some off road fun (inc cycle paths, gravel ,woodland) and a bit of light weight touring. With a few hills along the way.
1) SRAM Apex 1x chainset - 40 t crank 11-42 cassette
Or
SHIMANO 105 (R700) groupset with option’s
2) 34/50 t chainset or 36/52 t chainset with 11-28 cassette or 11-32 cassette (option with either chainset)
As a’m still getting use to gearing and what work’s best any help would be welcome.
