Hi all, I am looking to buy a nice do it all bike. I own a steel SS that isn't anything special but building it got me into cycling and I'm keen to move on and get a new bike.

I will be using it for the road (Richmond Park etc) but want to use it on tow paths and potentially commuting too (12 miles each way).

I have come across the Janis Renegade Elite. I like the look of it a lot and it seems perfect. But I can't really see any reviews since the first iteration in 2015. Has anyone got any experience of it? If not what do people think are there better options out there? I think Carbon is where I want to end up and the Janis is pretty much top end of my budget.

Thanks all!

Plenty out there if that's yer budget. Specialized diverge, Genesis Datum to start with. Jamis looks decent, have a good look round though, go and try as many different models as you can before settling on one.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
