So, buying a bike in the current climate is a bit more difficult than I expected. My local bike shop has been pillaged of stock - unless you’re spending serious money.

Have any of you heard of Rutland Cycles? I’ve found a Bianchi C-Sport (2018 model) on there for £550. It looks a good deal. Plus they offer a 30 day trial where apparently they’ll exchange if not completely happy (charging £50 to collect the bike).


Rutland cycling are fine to use, had the Mrs electric bike from them and service was excellent, have also ordered some peripherals and never had a problem

I ride a lot of the South Downs and there are loads of people on cyclo cross bikes - maybe an option?

The only things with these and the gravel bikes I’ve seen are the drop handles. Fine for the road. Not sure how comfortable I’d be on the trails I’ve found. They’re fairly uneven.
