My road bike was looking neglected today so 25 miles to climb Black Hill, near Harewood House, and back. It was a joy to be riding something 5 lb lighter than the Boardman ADV.

When I was buying this bike the shop owner was extolling the virtues of the hand built steel Pennine bikes they make and pointed out they last a life time and far longer than the carbon frame model I was considering. So I checked my birth certificate - and stuck with the Bianchi.
