Your other, other ride...

If the trail is pointing downhill I take this bike:

And if the trail is a bit jumpy and flatter I take this bike:

Had this since I was about 14, used it for 2 years than got a moped so stripped it to rebuild but got lazy.

It was only for commuting but got replaced; decided last weekend to get it finished off so starting rebuilding today. nothing flash just something to keep me on 2 wheels.

It came branded a Raleigh Shogun but I've never seen another.

Does anyone know if there is a way of getting pics off an iPhone onto the forum without a computer???

Anyhow, still riding a Focus Cayo 105, done over 5,000 miles on it now.

Full Carbon Fibre frame and forks
Mixture of shimano 105 and Ultegra groupset

Wheels are shite. Want to keep this as my winter hack and get a new one tbh.

Mine, I need to stop procrastinating and get back out on it instead of being a lardass.

I fancy a road bike and a turbo trainer for thrashing to death in the conservatory through the winter...

I'm gonna buy a road bike through the Ride to Work scheme. Got a grand to play with but I want a turbo-trainer too. Any recommendations?

I got itchy feet on Friday so I've handed my old Carrera Kraken to the Missus and I ordered myself a Specialized Hardrock disc 2012, kinda like a giving up smoking treat, not a bad thing to spend your money on. Going to be a good thing for me and the wife to do together with or without the kids, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation.

[jackw72]

The cheapest one. Honestly...

I bought one for £150+ because it had an adjustable resistance attachment which sounding great at the time but realised soon you just do this with gears anyway...

Magnetic seems best of them all. They do them in decathlon for about £70 I would spend that or around that.

Edit: Don't forget to factor in turbo trainer tyre too

Got one of these sat in the shed doing bugger all. Seems every time I use it I get a flat and end up walking home

Raleigh Freeride LX

Bought to replace a Raleigh Freeride GLX that I had nicked from outside work. Basically the same bike, merely different colour and the GLX had a front cable operated discbrake and different forks. Same as this but without the rack. Not my photo btw.

Do you know if your works cycle scheme restricts you to buying only from halfords or not??

Mine and Wifey's Avalanche 1.0 and 2.0 respectively:

https://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh286/arry200sx/Photo-0047.jpg


They need more use Haven't ridden mine in about 7 months I don't think. NEARLY went out on it yesterday but couldn't find the keys to the blinkin' chain.

[JonB]

Btw, if you can go anywhere with your cycle to work voucher, you can't go wrong with this on wiggle at the moment, full carbon frame and forks and 10 speed tiagra group set which is a good starting base. You can upgrade to 105/Ultegra when parts wear out.

https://www.wiggle.co.uk/felt-z6-tiagra-2012/

Just for anyone interested, the 2013 bikes are starting to come out now, so there are quite a few bargains to be had on the 2012 models.

I was going to get a new one this year as mine is 3 years old, however I need to spend £2,000 upwards to get a noticeable improvement on my existing bike so will wait til next year.
