Possibly the least bling bike currently on display here, but who cares. It's winter, so here's my winter bike - complete with seatpack still fitted.

Bling is overrated. That's a proper bike!

These are good bikes. I am considering something like this for winter use

If I see a bike like that out on the road I know I'm in the company of a proper cyclist, very nice and a neat ride for the winter.

They do a nice Reynolds framed jobbie for £800
