My 2 cents but it´s over 50 years of bicycle experience:
 
Choose a quality brand with a good dealer network and spare parts available.
Good bikes don´t come cheap.
Not so good bikes are nothing but trouble.

 :iagree:

But, a lot of famous brands have bikes from the previous year on sale at a nice discount.  I just bought myself a brand new Merida Silex 700 Gravelbike from 2018 at a really nice discount, and funny thing is, the model didn't even chance for 2019  :D.  (often they only chance colours from one year to another, sometimes its a completely new design).

And you do have to be lucky to have one in the right size, I need and XL bike and a lot of times these are still leftover from the previous year.

Don't know about other brands, but Merida has an outlet on their site (at least on their Benelux site, don't know about other countries sites), on which you can see all the models and what discount you get on them, and which sizes are available, but I found my bike at a local bikeshop, because on the Merida site it was only available at normal retail price, since they only had the 2019 model (which is exactly the same as the 2018 as far as I know). But the bikeshop owner said he had that bike in stock for a year, and since it was a size XL he thought chances of him selling it to anybody else than me were slim ... so I got a discount  :D.

Here's a pic of my latest bike:

As the matter of fact, yes  :twak:.

It's a gravelbike, which is a crossbreed between a mountainbike, cyclocrossbike, roadbike and touringbike ... We bought a cyclocrossbike for my oldest son and since cyclocrossbikes are a bit too uncomfortable for my aging bones I prefered the gravelbike, which is a lot more comfortable, but still able to go off-road or go quite fast on-road.  Most of our biketrips contain a mix of off- and on-road, but we try to go off-road as much as we can, which isn't that difficult in the area here.

Here's a pic from my boy on his new cyclocross bike (Merida CX600 Mission) at the same location, but showing the other side of the first pic.



As a fellow Belgian you should know that we love to take bikes like that into the field ...  :twak:

What I can't understand is how the 10cm that I am taller than him can add 60kg in weight...  :think:.

Yeah, more muscles was my guess as well, that or more brain ...

And yes, we ride together, but I have to give it to him, he planned it very well.  About 5 years ago my mountainbike trips were all around 60km long (all off-road) and I did one of those at least once a week, then my boys (and especially the oldest one) wanted to ride along, but after like 15km he would be so tired that we had to end our trip.  And now, a couple of years later all my stamina and leg-muscle is gone, I've got about 20kg extra to push forward, and now mister 14 year old, 1,83m with his 52kg rides away from me on every uphill climb, while whistling a song ...

Can anyone recommend a good pump that has a flexible hose for my MTB? (Not a floor one)
I normally go Topeak for bike accessories but I think they only have one. Lezyne seem to have a few...

I you can find SKS Spaero double action pump, I highly recommend it. The catch? It's discontinued.  :(

I have this one now, really like it actually. Small, reliable, solid build, works well. Screws onto the valve and you don't lose air by screwing it on or off.

Finally I join the club. :D


Display folding bikes in shops are far in between here.  >:(
Went with Tern partially because of being able to examine display models at one shop.  :cheers:
Is it a good or poor brand?  :think:

Ended up with the Tern Link B7.
Now to pimp it out with more lights and some unicorn stickers. :D
Maybe a better saddle.  :think: I want to use this bike to go exploring a little.  :D
