Finally picking up my new bike, giant rapid 1, and will be taking it out for a test tomorrow morning.

I'll try not to piss too many drivers off

I am saving for a new Merida, not a mega expensive one, just one that gives me comfort and a bit of mileage

I would love to get my hands on a softride powercurve bike, very big in the 90's. Heavier than steel but faster than a carbon one.

I also have a new bike, I love it.

I'm sure all you cycling enthusiasts will be jealous of it - its a Raleigh Caprice vintage style ladies bicycle with a cute wicker basket at the front

I have a giant anthem x3, a giant trance 1 27.5 and a giant defy 2. Don't think I'd buy anything other than giant.

I has the Claude butler rock before I got the giant crs 1.0, the difference between that and my new bike is amazing, so much lighter!

Up until recenty had a cannondale caad8, it was ok but I noticed the.little glitches in buying an off the peg bike. Can't wait to get my Harry Quin back and on the road, it is old school but it fits me like a glove.

I bought a Mekk Potenza SL last year as my first proper road bike (hybrid & MTB's before that) and had a good time learning the ropes on it.

Snapped the frame in February so was looking for a replacement.

Settled on a Dolan L'etape frameset & swapped everything over. Frame was much better and felt much livelier but still had something missing.

Bought a set of Cero AR30 wheels for £350 (1395 grms a pair) and its transformed the bike, now hitting 19mph averages on my midweek evening rides around the 25 mile mark.
