Advice: bike for Sheffield?

Moving to Sheffield for uni in September and wondering if anyone can give some insight into which of my 3 steeds might be best for the city.

Any input appreciated 🤟

Bike no. 1: my pride n joy Steamroller: 49:20 fixed ratio, wide tyres and risers.
Great for London, but worried about the hills of sheff...

Bike no.2: Btwin road. 25mm tyres, triple crankset and 9spd sora- nothing special but a decent ride.

Might be better for escapes to the peaks?

Aaand no. 3: beater trek- inherited from my dad, so some sentimental value, again nothing special but that’s kinda the idea- good town beater but capable off road.
Botched 1x 9spd deore, 26” wheels and narrowish risers.

Perhaps the most versatile, but also pretty small so not the most comfortable...

Tramlines and hills

You'll need the triple.

Shiit Yh forgot about the trams!

That’s the one then I guess

Ha, yes - bring whatever has the easiest gears.

Depending where you're going/living you can live a fairly tram free existence if you're lucky.

Loads of great riding just out of the city on or off road. If I had one bike it'd be a gravel bike with a full plethora of gears.

The more gears the better. I bought a fixed gear when I lived in Sheffield and regretted it almost immediately. Everything is uphill
There's some unreal roads in the peaks that you can enjoy with gears.

Everything is uphill

This. Son lives in Kelham Island. Everywhere from there is seriously up. Even popping to the chippy.

100% take something that you can ride off road. Fantastic mountain biking there.

I'd prob take 2 and 3...

Cheers guys!

Probably gonna do up the roadie then, and maybe take the mtb up later in the year to hit some trails.

I guess the surly’a staying home for now 😢

Everyone in this thread has gone soft. Take the Surly like a legend.

Yep, take the steamroller and a big dose of htfu

Tempted. Don’t think i could handle the descents with a loaded backpack though

If you're just taking 1 bike, take the road bike so you can get out and enjoy the peak district!

hope you know there are a few good routes on the forum too. Like The Seldom Killer's here, really nice one and starts in Sheffield.
