I recently got back into it, having got quite lazy since coming back to Australia with regards to riding. Still have a sweet Trek MTB back in Qatar that my folks are looking after.
Never had a "road" going bike before, but this Orbea Carpe was in the price range and really caught my eye for the looks. Not as many gears as I'm used to, but enough for casual and commuting.
Lightest bike I've ever had, even if it is aluminium. Was skeptical about going back to V-brakes after having discs for my last two bikes, but they do perform satisfactory for stopping.
