Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Am struggling to decide if this is the next bike that I need. Disc brakes, rack and mudguards, potential for larger tyres, a little bit more upright...

When hydraulic levers become more common place they could be fitted as an upgrade.

It appears it would be robust and fairly idiot proof.

Any reasons not to buy it? Any other alternatives?

enigma? or burls? I've got that lynskey ^^^ it was identical geometry to the custom frame spec I'd drawn up and chain reaction had my size in stock… it is indeed very lovely to ride, bit like a steel frame… not cheap as you say... wheels and frame and forks alone best part of two grand

small reasons not to buy: cable routing makes mounting rear lights tricky without a rack, and mudguard mounting is a bit a of a bodge at the rear
