All my bikes are retros, mainly because I am also retro. I currently have a lot of hand made mtbs, and a couple of production road bikes (a Raleigh and a Concorde).
Recently I have been toying with treating myself to a NEW bike. At first I was going to go 29'er, but that's all gone a bit sideways for now and before I looked at 29'ers I was already looking at road bikes, but which one.
Do I go Ribble / Planet X, with their generic Chinese carbon, or maybe Terry Dolan with his design of Chinese carbon and my choice of chainset, or do I go home made steel, as I really like the look of the frames that Shand and Rourke produce, or what about a new Colnago or a Raleigh Militis.
How do YOU decide which new bike get's yer cash?
