Great bikes, especially the Air TT range - just don't really want one/to visit Halfords

I heard a rumour that Halfords are looking to buy Wiggle  - lets hope not.

Interest alert- I part time at a shop that deals Trek.

The Domane is a damn good bike- OCLV carbon frame which has a limited lifetime warranty (possibly Trek are the only manufacturer that offer a lifetime warranty on carbon fibre frames). The geometry is such that, although it is a racing designed machine- Fabian Cancellara won Paris- Roubaix on a Domane, the taller head tube, longer chain stays and lower bottom bracket make it a more endurance orientated ride. The Domane is a really good ride on thye shitty roads in the UK due to the tyres usually being 700/ 25 as opposed to 700/ 23 and the ISO Speed decoupler at the seat tube/ top tube/ seat stay junction allows the flex in the seat tube to soak up the road buzz. The wide bottom bracket area also makes for a lateraly stiff frame which allows better power transfer to the pedals.

No one I have sold one to wishes they bought something else.

Have you looked at Merida? Some lovely looking bikes that are "different" to the normal Spesh/Trek/Giants that you see everywhere.



Merida incidentally actually own Specialized and are huge.  They are different though don't see many over here at the moment.

You obviously haven't met Mrs B  Grin (just kidding love in case your're checking my posts)

For me only having the two pockets wouldn't be enough. I use a rack bag thats waterproof to a point with plenty of pockets. Sounds like you have an issue with your commute and stating dry so my preference would be the top one.

Yes, but! I'm paranoid about being knocked off and the bottom one is luminous and has reflective strips on the shoulder straps and back. However, the top one is only £25 and the bottom £30. For something with more pockets and no rain cover (I'm fed up with those) you are talking twice the price.

Not overly fussed about pockets. Want this for work commute, so only need to carry clothes, washkit, towel, waterproofs and some grub. All, apart from the waterproofs, would get emptied at each end.
