That's a good looking bike. I'll drop you a PM

Thanks for all the recommendations. I will go through them tonight. I also don't mind a used/second hand bike if it's in great condition and could get me better components for the same amount or less.

Hi all my wife has started cycling a few months ago on a cheap GT which I bought for 1.5K. She is into it now and I got her a trek xcalibre 9 yesterday which was sold here on bikehub. While doing all the research and watching numerous youtube videos on part comparisons, the cycle bug has bitten me now too, and I want to give it a go. I would like to get something I do not have to replace again in the next few months as I get fitter and faster. My budget is 20k. Ill be mostly doing tar and gravel. I am 1.90cm and around 100kg. Any recommendations? Thanks
