a little bit of old news:
A designer (now a good friend) who's first job out of school was with my old studio was the lead designer on the Specialized Aethos series of bikes. So nice to see minimalist design coming out of the big companies for a change.

/\ lol. With ebikes, these days almost anything can be considered a bike.
Got out today for a Boxing Day ride and bumped into a cat 4 climb.

Thinking about getting a new bike. I saw this one:
But then again, I question, is this a bike for me?
I cycle to the market and around the town, cruise around. Would like mudguards, so I can cycle to the gym even in light rain without getting dirty. Light is handy, too.
I am more of a minimalist guy. Would a fixie be better for me? Single speed, light-weight. But what about the mudguards.
It's so hard to decide that I might just stick to my old bike. Damn.
- You can put mudguards on any bike. For the market and gym you can get a rack with panniers. For minimal maintenance get an internal hub.palimpsest
- depends, if you want to have a commuter bike but sometimes pedal outside the city and with some friends I wouldn't buy a fixed gear.oey_oey
- Get the most dorky looking bicycle. So it's not attractive to thieves.shapesalad
- disc brakes are really nice but do you need them? the big question would be if you need gears. like a hub gear system like nexus can be practical.oey_oey
- Single speed = big no.shapesalad
- https://www.halfords…shapesalad
- It has 8 gears. It's this one: https://www.schindel…SimonFFM
- The halfords looks good. I am location in Germany though.SimonFFM
- It's not really my type but I have to say that it has good parts and seems like a good practical city bike.oey_oey
- Price went up 150 EUR from yesterday to today. Suckers. Makes me less wanting one.SimonFFM
- keep us posted on the mudguards situation!Krassy
- I still ride fixed gear, I have a chill ratio as I rarely go over 20kms in and around city. Super smooth, front brake only to help with stop and start traffic.slappy

I ended buying this bike.
I delayed the purchase so long specially because the father of my partner was very sick and died short after Xmas that I forgot about Brexit and that after the 1st of January one had to pay customs...
I'm very happy, it's my first brand new bike since I'm an adult.
I will use it as a commuter when I need to take my little one in the child trailer tot the market, to the Kindergarten and for tours.
I'm building a bike for other occasions like when i need to leave at the railway station and plan to repair my fixed gear this Spring.

- I ended up buying this bike...oey_oey
- nice!brt44
- I will acquire a hub dynamo to replace the front hub for light and had to pimp it up a bit for safety and transport reasons. would love to strip it naked thoughoey_oey
- Looks great! Somehow, I don't really know what I need. I have no kids and actually will rather use a backpack. I just ordered mudguards to mount on my old bike.SimonFFM
- Sorry about your father in law.SimonFFM
- Thanks Simon, I t was pretty fast as he was avoiding taking care of symptoms for a year. Cancer.oey_oey
- Diagnosed and gone in two months. Well he really didn't care somehow and then it was too late.oey_oey
- Back to bikes,I f you have some hills to bike in the city or small tours just get a bike with 8 gears.oey_oey
- If you an still use yours and take some time to make a research cn on which bike that's also okay.oey_oey
- But mind you that at least in Germany bike prices go up in Spring. And there's lots of sold out models...oey_oey
- ...because people bought bikes like crazy during the pandemic.oey_oey
- If y o u have an old bike that you can use mostly but then want a better one for some t in more that's also a good option.oey_oey
- I have a trekking bike which is 12 years old. It's ok, just thought, I could use a new one. A bit out of boredom and because it's nice. Not needing a new one.SimonFFM

Thinking about this one now:
Cube NuRoad
I will have to mount a mudguard (only on the rear should be enough), a bell and a bike stand. And it doesn't come with pedals. But it could be a fun bike.
- Those fuckers say my legs are too short.SimonFFM
- Mine are a bit shorter than the average for my height. 1 or 2 cm thats why I had to buy a 52 frame instead of a 54oey_oey
- This is a nice bikeoey_oey
- Personally I like the Marin bikesoey_oey

- Sounds and looks excellent, too. I will wait until the shops are open again and look around then.SimonFFM
- 20 or 22 gears would suffice for most cases to be honest.oey_oey
- I like the Bombtrack Arise for example but it's a bit expensive when compared to other bikes.oey_oey
- I have an appointment to check frame size and then I can order the bike. Takes almost five months until I can get it. Crazy!SimonFFM

Updates to the Foundry Harrow: still running SRAM Force 1, but have since upgraded to Zipp Ergo 70 handlebars (carbon fiber) & Zipp seatpost (also carbon), and swapped out the wheels for the last-gen Zipp 303 Firecrests (running x32c Continental GP5000 TL) and shxt does this thing fly. And the sound those wheels make...swoon...
