I've ridden MTBs since their appearance in the UK, but over the last few years, the local trails seem to spend a good length of time under water, so I spend a bit of time on the roads wearing down my knobblies (ooer!) on bikes under geared for tarmac.
This year, I'd like to get my hands on a reasonably priced road bike so I can cover the miles a bit more efficiently. I'm looking for something with fairly relaxed angles - I'm not a racer - and at 47 and a bit over fighting weight, something with a range of gearing suitable for hills also as I live in the Malverns.
I know NOTHING about road bikes, so I'm at your mercy. 2nd hand is good too as during the warmer drier weather I probably wont use it a whole lot.
I'll probably have a few MTBs to sell or swap - a Proflex with Vectors (too small for me) and 'something else' TBD!
Cheers!
