Dave W 20 Oct 12:10pm, 20 Oct 2024 22,955 posts	0 Dave W Very sad. Such a nice bloke. His wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a bit since as well. Two young children. A real shame.

cathrobinson 20 Oct 4:58pm, 20 Oct 2024 13,012 posts	0 cathrobinson I can't imagine having a diagnosis like both of those, and then having to face the fact that at some point the public will end up hearing about it, whether you want them to or not. I admire him - and his wife! - for their strength and positivity as they navigate the unknowns.

jacdaw 2 Nov 4:13pm, 2 Nov 2024 4,640 posts	0 jacdaw I'm thinking about a Ti road bike, and although I do like the look of the Enigmas, they seem a bit pricey. Not sure I'm taken by the van nicholas, and most others are out of my price range. There are a few on ebay, but I can't convince myself that this is a good way to buy a bike. So... I wondered if anybody had experience of / opinions on Sabbath bikes? Currently owned by Spa in Harrogate, I believe. Almost certainly (actually, certainly) Asian made frames.The AR1 or AR2 disc, particularly. Good value or gas-pipe Ti? (Alternative might be a carbon Giant Defy Advanced 1 or Canyon Endurace CF7... but I'm not sure I have much love for carbon fibre)
MsG 2 Nov 7:43pm, 2 Nov 2024 2,684 posts	0 MsG The Cycle chat and yacf forums would be good places to ask / have a look.

jacdaw 2 Nov 8:57pm, 2 Nov 2024 4,641 posts	0 jacdaw Thanks. Cyclechat has a few interesting pointers. yacf is a bit quiet these days; I used to spend a lot of time on there (10 years ago!!). Feeling a lot of love for the Spa Elan ti.
