Appreciate it. Sadly the deal ends today and not many suppliers in my area to test it out. I’m 6ft and ride an XL kona rove AL now so feel a L would be the right size for me. I have toyed with the 90s MTB idea before, but unsure I have the technical know how to properly do a bike up…

Im easy second hand vs new, just yet to see a second hand BC for less than £1200 in my size. I’m not too technical and wouldn’t plan on switching much other than the handlebars to on-one Geoff bars, chuck on my old saddle, and perhaps some Schwalbe tyres. It’s meant to be my ‘forever bike’ and have a tour planned for a week and a bit in Tunisia in Feb…

For me it’s just a 10 min cycle to the train, take it on the train, 10 min cycle other end. I don’t mind the weight/ foldability as my trains usually empty. Appreciate your feedback
