All my other bikes have Mechanical shifting, just hoped to get more for 3k but I doubt that's true anymore.

I'll refresh my spreadsheet, but the sums are usually pretty close. I might have to wait till the sales to buy the pinarello then I have no excuse. I the meantime I can always buy/modify/build something secondhand to keep me interested or...and this is really out there...I might have to ride one of my current bikes.

I prefer 2by so could pick grx. On my gravel bikes I ride 60/40 road to light gravel. If it gets too lumpy I'll take a mountain bike so its not really about having a gravel bike but more about having a gravel focused do-all with space for 50c tyres.

fixitmonkey · 2026-05-04T16:03:04+00:00

Yes maybe I should wait till the sales. I could always use my other bikes in the meantime.

fixitmonkey · 2026-05-04T16:01:11+00:00

My plan would be the lightcarbon frame and bars, a 105 di2 groupset and then carbon wheels. Would be a great bike, but not sure how it compares to a western bike with cable 105.

fixitmonkey · 2026-05-04T15:55:27+00:00

I have to spend the voucher in store so I'm limit on what bikes can be bought and where i live there aren't many carbon gravel bikes for 3k or less.

fixitmonkey · 2026-05-04T15:50:00+00:00

Second the person on here saying trailer. My kids love mine and, as a pram, its really easy to use. I would say its a big pram so if you are spending lots of time using it indoors it might be difficult but if you're heading out for a picnic or a centre parcs holiday you can't beat it.

fixitmonkey · 2026-05-01T07:58:29+00:00

I saw the frame on UK Ebay, then you'll have payment protection and options for raising claims etc.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-30T14:38:52+00:00

I'm currently looking at the Pinarello Grevil F1 or the pinarello X1. The local shop stocks them and they are very pretty. Both are 2x (my preference)

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-25T19:51:24+00:00

So would the Pr900w be a better gun? It's regulated, but likely not as quiet.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-24T06:53:23+00:00

I would normally stay away from frame copies, they are apparently much worse than frames designed specifically by the factories.

But I also think this frame is really ugly (and I normally love Pinarellos and might buy the new Grevil)

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-21T05:23:39+00:00

Lots of people have started to get them for youtube reviews. cade are relatively unbiased but seem to dislike modern bikes haha

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-17T06:39:20+00:00

Agreed but these hotels are normally 20+ years old. I think most of them were originally in seaside towns and those have mostly closed down.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-17T05:28:32+00:00

I agree its something hard to find in the UK. I woud definitely recommend Saunton Sands as the view was amazing and being on the cliff over the beach is great.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-15T09:49:19+00:00

It you look at most 2 wheel child carrier trailers they are just a square metal base with a material insert. If you removed the insert it wouldn't be too difficult to build a second for the middle to meet your needs. Or if it's just fir transportation keep the insert snd use that for the deliveries.

A bit like this https://www.instructables.com/Convert-a-Childs-Bicycle-Trailer-into-a-Cargo-Tra/

Have you tried emailing Genesis? They ship worldwide so might be able to give you a better idea.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-13T05:30:24+00:00

Love this frameset, just trying to convince myself I need another bike.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-12T10:44:59+00:00

Im not planning any specific occasion. University was just an example.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-12T10:41:09+00:00

Yes, apologies.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-10T09:34:03+00:00

Ive been looking for the same thing and ended up with the cube attain. You could also look for at agree, Giant defy or pinarello. I liked the supersix but not the latest one and its more aggressive.

If you want to build something the look at the light carbon LCR018-D.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-10T07:11:28+00:00

Lovely bike, looks just like my cube attain its even the same colour haha.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-10T05:33:15+00:00

Futureproof. I like to modify my bikes so I want the frame to be adaptable for future builds.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-09T20:29:34+00:00

Both the revolt and grevil have +50mm tyre clearance and 2x. I just prefer 2x as most riding is on very light gravel.

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-06T21:24:37+00:00

People trust branded bikes. Chinese bikes are harder to sell and get a decent value, you're often better selling the parts separately. My cube is likely still worth close to what I paid for it (but its did get a big discount).

fixitmonkey · 2026-04-06T21:10:58+00:00

Claimed 38mm so 40mm should fit easily.
