• Posted in the gravel bike thread but here's probably more appropriate.

    Missus has given me the go ahead to buy a sensible bike (ie gears, brakes, capable of decent road rides plus commuting and a bit of all road/gravel).

    I think otp is going to be the way to go, means I get riding it now, not whenever I finish building it which'd probably be just as winter kicks in.

    Currently only have 1 geared bike, a 3 speed hubbed '60s gas pipe thing. Keen to avoid derailleurs so have been looking at bikes like the Genesis Day One 20 or the Cube Travel Pro.

    Cube comes with Dynamo, rack, guards etc. which is nice, though the Genesis is more 'me' if you know what I mean.

    Anyone else got any suggestions? Budget...be nice to keep it under a grand.

  • Considered a Genesis Smithfield? Picked my Mrs up last years model and its great. She loves the hub gears and rack/guards/squishy tyres make it a versatile beast. This years is smart as well IMO.

    Hey mec @Gaston

  • Yeah I looked at it but didn't like it as much as the Day One and nobody got back to me about the Cube (including Cube themselves) so I've bought a Day One. Pick it up on Sunday on my way home from Bespoked.
