Oh Mumma that looks so good BCM!
Thanks Duncan.Have a good look around before parting with you're hard earned at Evans , there's plenty of good bikes at good prices & not necessarily at Evans to be had out there .
Evans have a deal with Tesco which doubles your vouchers, so I'm £210 up on the deal going in
That and it's my first bike so I want to get it from a shop, get fitted etc.
Evans aren't bad are they?

Be warned Duncan that this cycling lark can get seriously addictive & expensive.
Look forward to hearing about you're first ride soon
I've got a B'twin Triban 500SE winging it's way to me now as my first road bike to replace my aging and quite frankly fked Carrera Subway.
I was a bit um and ah about the Microshift or Sora on the 500 but then I realise it's not the gearing that'll be holding me back, more the 16.5 stone I'm lugging around attached to my gut, decided to save the money as I'll probs upgrade later anyway and to focus on getting out on the thing and losing some timber. Plus I've heard it's not exactly the worst.
It's 10 miles to the shops down an amazing mountain route and they do fking lovely pies at the shop so I think I'll be out quite alot
Little bit excited.

Don't over-indulge on the pies or you'll need to take the bus back up the mountain!I was a bit um and ah about the Microshift or Sora on the 500 but then I realise it's not the gearing that'll be holding me back, more the 16.5 stone I'm lugging around attached to my gut, decided to save the money as I'll probs upgrade later anyway and to focus on getting out on the thing and losing some timber.

Microshift stuff will be fine. Brakes are dog-doo though, you'll want to get those sorted if you're going downhill fast. Quite a few 5, 500 and 500SE owners on here.

They're supposed to be a very good bike for the mula,and I was going to definitely get one as my first bike until I noticed the Tesco/Evans deal. Also, the nearest Decathlon is 50 miles for me.I was a bit um and ah about the Microshift or Sora on the 500 but then I realise it's not the gearing that'll be holding me back, more the 16.5 stone I'm lugging around attached to my gut, decided to save the money as I'll probs upgrade later anyway and to focus on getting out on the thing and losing some timber.

The road is an up and down section that ends at sea level, infact the only level bit is about 200m long. So I've been practicing climbing a fair bit.

Brakes will be seen too! many blind corners on a single track road out here!

I suppose we'll find out, I am only really worried about the size, im 6ft2 and got it in a 57, Only because every other bike bigger I've sat on I feel over stretched so thought i'd try a bit smaller. Whats the tesco/evans deal?

Tesco Clubcard Boost, £2.50 = £5 in Evans vouchers.
Turns out I had £106 in Tesco vouchers so it'd be rude not to
