Good practical looking machine.
After a long day, when it’s *issing down, and there’s a headwind, you will be glad of it. Especially the headwind, when they excel and pushing you through.

What Spesh is that? Looks like a useful machine. How do you find the 1x11 for normal tarmac road speeds and do you find the gap between gears any more of an issue than if you had a double?

35 hilly miles a day is quite a lot on top of a day’s work, even more so if the weather is grim!
A few things I’d consider if I was choosing again:
- What is the parking situation at work,...
Thanks - hope you have many good miles on it. I’d like to get something like this - riding position not too extreme, room for 28 or 32s, hydraulic discs.

I think that is very unusual and indicative of a fault, either a bent chainring or a wrongly assembled chainset.
While I have once in a while had a chain drop right off the chainset and into the...
Excellent photo! I’d love to be able to go for a lunchtime spin in country like that.
Those bolts holding the chainring on - crazy (and unrideable). I'd don't think "filing" will quite do it.
My bet would be that in order to make this bike ride nicely it would need the entire...
Definitely - some of them get good reviews and compare well with others in their price bracket.
I haven’t looked at the above in detail but the Cx comp looks a pretty versatile machine. What’s...
Googled that - yup, it’s nice! Enjoy. Looks like good cycling country in the photo.
Very, very, very nice indeed!
The disc brakes will take a little bedding in - a few long gradual downhills will sort them out, brake and release a few times rather than building up speed and braking hard.

No, I got mine from Rosebikes if I remember rightly:
