I appear to have stopped riding to work due to the fact i now have to carry my laptop with me and can't stand wearing a backpack. So, this is clearly grounds for a new commuter bike that has eyelets for a rack.
Whilst im being practical, I would also like to add disc brakes. For some reason that I can't quite justify or explain, I also want 11 speed. Finally, it has to be 105 or above as I don't like cables sticking out of the shifters.
I could sit here and tell you all that it would be good have something for occasional off-road use but realistically I have an MTB for that so it doesn't need to be a full on CX bike, plus I'm not keen on CX specific gearing.
Went to a not so local LBS on Sunday and they showed me this :
The only other bike under £1500 that sort of floats my boat is a Genesis Equilibrium of some sort... But I told myself if I had a Genesis it would be a Ti and that's out of budget right now...ideally I didn't want to spend more than a grand as I'll put this purchase through my limited company for the tax saving. I can stretch to £1200 for the above Whyte though, I think.
So can anyone shed light on anything I might have missed? I'd be quite happy if someone can point me in the direction of a disc equipped Ti frame with 105 11 speed lol...
