The "what bike have you just bought" thread
Discussion
After much investigation and deliberation, i've today purchased a Kona Jake the snake cyclocross bike on the cycle2work scheme.
Its green, has 300 off the list price, plus i save a further 32% of the list via the cycle2work scheme.. £900 ish for a £1500 bike with an OK ish spec. Should make the tow path and cycltrack to work a bit easier going than on a full on race bike !

That's good. In my experience the retailer doesn't usually like to do C2W scheme on discounted bikes. Presumably as they take a double hit on the price.
Our C2W scheme will be opening for 2016 shortly. I took a Cannondale CAADX cyclocross bike last time and it has been great bar a b'build issue' with the rear wheel. I'm tempted to go in again and pick up another Cannondale. This time a Synapse Alu (Shimano 105 variant) with disc brakes. It'll take proper mudguards and a 28mm tyre so I'll add those and it'll be a great winter road bike for getting my mileage up. Save wearing our the CX tyres, which i'm about the replace, with more road work over the winter.
