Hi,
Just signed up to the forum. Been enjoying reading the postings. I bought my bike in February this year. First one since school -years and years ago. Wasn't sure what I wanted so bought a Hybrid. Have ended up doing a mix of on and off-road to start with and now doing progressively longer on-road trips. Now looking at getting a pure road bike and a pure MTB! Addicted or what!:)

Yup, you're addicted :) . Just remember that the perfect number of bikes is b + n = bikes.

So, what kind of bikes are you looking at? Perhaps we can lure you to the wonderful world of vintage steel, WITH LUGS! That's a true addiction, you know.

Welcome to BF!

Thanks for the reply.


Looking at something light - usual hi tech materials rather than steel. I am gradually building up my distances so I can start Audax events. The Southern Region Audax organiser lives in my village which is handy.

I have just started a new contract 12 miles from home so will start commuting when the rain stops!:)

Vintage steel isn't THAT heavy unless you're talking about a Schwinn Contivarsity :) .

It could be months before it stops raining--last I heard (yesterday), there were still torrential downpours.
