new road bike!

[Tumble]

If you want to stretch your budget a teensy bit.... then this is a good bike - the same frame as mine, but slightly less expensive (not cheaper ) components

Or this one is right on budget, but it's brown, and again has a lower component spec.

Both of those will have lovely build quality, depsite the price, and they ride su-bloody-perbly - I don't miss the suspension on the back they're that good

well ive just bought one from evans and its.... hopefully a good one as both i and the staff there think it is!

now i found the handlebars a bit close together so might get some easton handlebars or something later on!

p.s. tumble, i will NEVER get truative again a pedal fell off becuase of that crankset! bad bad..

list of treats i might possibly go for now:
Crank Brothers 5050xx pedals
easton ec70/ea70 handlebars 2 inch rise

thats it really for now

long live bicycling!

ah well... I'd get one of those for the frame tbh... then upgrade stuff. I bought the Eldridge Grade in Feb and it's sooooooooooooo nice

I'm not the person to ask really, I tend to buy with my heart rather than my head I bought the Duster frame because it's relatively rare, different, a British company and looks pimp. The fact it rides brilliantly is a side issue

Buy a different stem instead, new handelbars wont put the bars further away!
