Most popular Bike Brands
Although none of us were that surprised by the news story this week about the top 3 bike brands for sportives it did get me thinking. Although there are loads of Spesh, Trek and Giant bikes out there (I just need to look at my employers bike sheds), of the people I cycle with at weekends or on the few sportives I have done, their bikes have been Canyon, Cannondale, Plant-X and only 1 Giant.
As I am a stats fan, would everyone be interested in doing our own survey and I'll pull together the results in a couple of weeks. And to make our survey EVEN MORE comprehensive than theirs :), how about we take into account the n+1 factor and list which brand of bike you use for the below 3 types of road riding, e.g. (my entry below)
Commute = Trek
Sportive = Colnago
Race = N/A
If there is no appetite for this or if only a few respond then I'll let this slowly disappear down the forum, however if we have a big enough sample size I'll collate the results in a few weeks and publish the results.
Cheers
Tim

You can see the effect of a 'way too late' opening of this comp, with my dismal results! Wrecked a good start to my season.

It was off my list of helmets worth buying as soon as I saw someone had named it "Game Changer".

Looks valid to me although on a black Mercedes C Class. Last V5 issued 25th April (2 days ago) so maybe plate was being transferred.
