I read somewhere that bikes are renewed every 5-10 years on average by club cyclists, and therefore I guess there are 20+ new bikes purchased every year by Beacon riders.
I see from a similar thread that Paul's Spesh Roubaix and Keith's Trek Madone 4.7 have made their debut this week, and my new bike saw the light of day at the MadMarchHare on the same day.
Mine's a Bianchi Infinito bought and sized up at Epic Cycles in Ludlow...dashes of Celeste Green, bags of style and heritage, and far too good for my ability...but it's better than spending it on something sensible.
Any more new bikes with proud owners blinking into the sunshine soon?
first thoughts on your new bikes welcome (and let's hope this is a non-judgemental thread, if you want to run down others' choices, go on BikeRadar)
