Hi fellow bikers!

Please help me choose my next bike......

I'm looking to spend up to £1k and so far have shortlisted the following. What would be your choice? Or, do you recommend something else?

For me it would be the Trek (i've just bought a Marlin too)

I'm absolutely no bike expert by ANY means but spec of components, price, style and brand too sold it for me over others at the price point. Although I was tempted by the Specialised, but felt the Trek was a better-looking bike.

Have a look at Sonder Bikes, from Alpkit. If there's a branch near you you might be able to get a test ride on one, which will give you the best idea if you like it.

I bought a Sonder Dial about a year ago, love it.
