I’ve an acquaintance in Spain (where my wife is from) who is a very good cyclist that trains throughout the year as he competes at a decent level.
Last year he was telling me how he won a bike in a race for coming first , and he is using it now as a winter bike.
We went for a look at it , with me expecting a “winter bike” only to be presented with a Colnago C64 same as my summer bike.
My point is , winter bike has an entirely different meaning in the UK to Mainland Europe. I’ve just got back from Spain which whilst cold (2-5degrees C) it was dry and sunny. I don’t need to tell folk on here what our weather has been like in comparison.
