Really like that!
I use a first generation 7005 Kinesis Crosslight with mudguards as a year round bike. What's the ride quality like. Thanks, grey

Thanks, also to Schofie, MrSmith, Dynam0humm for the responses - am delighted to see so much thought put into gear choice - I had begun to think people were buying enormously wide ratios simply...

I would go along with that, and indeed there are some good offers on Shimano cassettes around; paradoxically, I understand that 10 speed systems have a wider chain than 9s.

Apologies once more if I repeat the bleedin' obvious, but if you've not ridden on the road for a while, there may be a temptation to ride...

Thanks benny.c and MrSmith.

I can fully understand the wider platform is better over a distance and once you get into the sport. I would still think MTB systems are better for easing into cycling...

I'm a bit out of touch, but the advantage of the Time ATAC pedals was that the system allowed for 'float' to compensate for knee issues, whereas at the time none of the road systems had this feature...

FWIW, and apologies if it's being discussed before.
