Hi all.
Unfortunately I had my Mason Bokeh used primarily for commuting got stolen from our home, not fully insured. Looking for replacement ideas, ideal wish list:
Mud guard and rack mounts
Decent franeset that if needs be can be & is worth upgraded in future with ability to take 650b as well as 700c . I have a couple of route options one is mostly tarmac the other mostly canal towpaths.
Probably stick with 2x at least 105 or equivalent, (was Ultegra mec hydro disc) not sure whether to go electrical or stay mechanical group set.
Got be something that I want to ride. Not a rubbish horrible bso type thing that's a chore.
I'm considering second hand, just not seen anything that'll suite or good value yet.
Wife wants me to get something cheap and cheerful as a "temporary" measure but I know once I start using something that'll be it. I be stuck with it but I am also thinking maybe get a MTB flat bar cheap thing and then get a replacement "sumer roadie"
Maybe carbon fibre aero like the 3T Explora racemax but something that'll fit proper guards and rack .
Maybe something a bit more colourful than plain ish black I usually go for.

That's a bit of a bummer.
My shortlist from last year for a similar bike had the Bombtrack Hook EXT on it as well as the Fairlight Secan and Condor Bivio Gravel which is the one I went for.0 -
Kinesis Tripster AT, ally, or ATR titanium. The AT got a really good review one of the sites.0
