• Road, gravel or mountain bike: which bike for how you ride You signed up for a fun ride with a mate, and now you're in a bike shop with three walls of bikes. Road, gravel or mountain: which bike suits how you'll actually ride, and what to pay.
• Bike sizing: get the frame right before the deal The bike was 30 percent off. It was also one size too big, and your lower back has been sending complaints ever since. How to get your bike size right before you look at the price.
• Groupsets explained: where the price jumps Same frame, same colour, and one costs more than double the other. The difference is mostly the groupset. What groupsets are, how the tiers line up, and where the money is worth it.
