• IMHO winter bikes mean twice the faf.

    It shouldn't, if you build it up right, it can last the whole winter with miminal maintenance.

    Full length steel mudguards with flap, 8 speed trainmission, koolstop salmon/swissstop BXP, big tyres etc. can go a long way compared to running a road bike with filmsy Crud Roadracer with a 105 11 speed drivetrain.
