• Looking ahead to finally having a proper job after years of studying-induced austerity, and half thinking of a new bike. I’d like it to be a versatile road bike that can do a bit of gravel and touring as well as general riding/commuting. Ideally I’d like steel/Ti, hydro disks and decent clearance for guards, with budget stretching to max 2k So far I’m thinking:
    Condor Fratello Disc
    Fairlight Strael 2
    Planet X picknflick/tempest (wait for good deal)
    Bosrdman ASR

    What’re the hive mind’s thoughts on these? Any obvious ones missing?

  • Bowman Pilgrims? (Although it's aluminium).

    I like the look of the Strael, but the geometry seems odd when compared to other bikes. I appreciate there are reasons for this, but they are either long and low, or shorter but high.
