https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9354&idPhone2=9642 Finally new phone time, I have the chance to get the Nokia on £14 a month or the Samsung on £15 a month (2GB data for each). Think the Nokia is the 3GB RAM version vs the 4GB on the Samsung, but the Nokia tends to score better on...

Agree that the Carrera Zelos or Virtuoso are probably the way to go for that - as long as you happen to need a 51 or 54cm frame. Triban is a nice casual bike for all road riding but it's not built for speed, A modern compact groupset will make a huge difference for training and for finding a...

First ride on the new bike today. We are going to have a lot of fun times together :o

If you're willing to take a bit of a hit on the groupset this is probably a bit better quality for the money; https://www.evanscycles.com/jamis-dakar-a2-2018-mountain-bike-EV306022

Hah, it's Google images of the bike thinking about buying. Allez Elite Red Hook. Always thought I'd want something a bit more versatile but who an I kidding, I like to go fast.

Found a crack in the frame of my old 80s road bike :c It's been a good run, but it might be time to join the 21st Century...

I know, great isn't it? :D

Had a sudden urge for an analogue watch to supplement my trusty F-91W, saw this on clearance. Digging the colour tbh, nice statement.

Yeah I noticed that but it's a fool's errand trying to get them to fix stuff on their website :D Pretty sure going to the 8 gets you the air sprung version of the RS 30 Silver, Deore 10x2, Race Face cranks and Duster Elite rims.Same brakes but they seem decent enough. I asked them to get me a...

Then yeah, not so much of a factor. The geometry of the Arkose is very well regarded, not sure about the Boardman but it looks a bit more aggressive, maybe not what you want if you're not obsessing over speed.

Arkose can definitely handle some light touring, but for anything much longer you might feel the lack of front rack mounts. They really help your weight distribution when fully loaded. And yeah, 1x can be great for a fun throw around bike but it's not ideal for carrying a touring load up a steep...

I mean I am like 75-80 kg which I understand is pretty close to the range they tend to set up coil forks for, but I guess the option to change it for carrying a bikepacking load would be welcome. I think the way one of the discounts works is that it has to be in stock on the Trek website, which...

For reference I'm interested in doing this and similar sorts of riding, for which it seems like 29ers could make a big difference. https://deesidetrail.co.uk/route/ I know air forks are all the rage but I think I'd appreciate the relative simplicity of decent coil forks, and the overall...

Yeah a big draw of the X-cal is that it's the same frame as the Roscoe tbh.

But... it doesn't look as cool :(

Hey so, I have the opportunity to get quite a significant discount on a new bike and it seems like a shame not to take advantage of it. I always imagined I'd go for an adventure bike, being a bit of a roadie, but now I think I'm leaning towards giving a hardtail a proper go. I imagine I'd mainly...

https://www.evanscycles.com/trek-marlin-7-2018-mountain-bike-EV319900 Rockshox for the same money, would be a big step up. Especially if you can find a trade in bike (they take anything).

Hah, nice one. Lovely weather to take it for a ride atm... do we get pics? ;)

Lol, well if you did want to spend more I'd probably be considering something like; https://www.evanscycles.com/pinnacle-arkose-2-2018-adventure-road-bike-EV306245 Less than half the price and really no great loss in spec. Don't know if we already mentioned this but it's definitely worth...

Better to roll them up rather than fold them I find.
