The circle is almost complete, Ved. The nodders are riding fixies and the fixengers are all building hybrids.
Everyone speccing flat bar commuters with discs, room for 30's, mudguards and pannier racks are effectively just building hybrids.
Or spending £££'s on custom steel CX/path racers which basically boil down to an expensive genesis day 1.
Or buying Evans own brand bikes. Remember the fuss in 2012 when it turned out Chris Hoy was starting a bike company to be sold through Evans? Now everyone is lapping that crap up.
I don't really care either way, it just funny to see the shift.

Today I'm riding an old On-One geared Inbred with short trials forks, wide risers, 29er wheels and 160mm rotors. 32x15 gear on 28-622 tyres.
Satisfying.

I've seen no nodders riding fixed, they all ride cheap shit create / foffa bollox in SS mode usually one brake styleee. Some nodders still ride MTB, but most are now on tax free road bikes.
the hhsb is a rare sight indeed, thank fuck for that...
CX blew up in popularity in last three years so it seems lots of variations on this theme are being pumped out.
Most of the old guard on here have owned loads of different bikes and I for one have commuted on all sorts of cycles, apart from MTB.
I prefer riding fixed, but am seriously considering getting a geared set up, CX hybrid commuters seem to be pretty good at the moment and from what I've seen own brands have been raising their game!
Its only a fucking bike ffs
*logs on to evans *

I'm actually an unbespoke, machine made, flat bar path racer with special custom downward facing dropouts, a pedestrian warning chime, some low end shimano fishing equipment and one of those special needs plastic things that goes between the spokes and the cassette.
You guys should build something like the Lizard in your line-up.
