Been contemplating getting a new bike, old one feels a bit small

No bike is good on ANY surface.

Some would recommend you a CX/gravel/touring type bike for a general purpose "do all" bike. But can you ride drop bars?

Take a look at Merida.

Don't get a new bike. New bikes are a meme.
Get a used one.

>>1012767
What are you using it for? To get to the shops and class or as a weekend warrior and race machine? If you had to choose between roads and trails which would you want?

>No bike is good on ANY surface
WRONG!

Get a cx mountain bike from a well known brand such as specialized, scott etc. Get one with a 29 inch wheel so it feels good on and off road. Heres one that i own, i ride it on my city commute and off road on the weekends.

used bikes r even a bigger meme. half the time they are broken and require replacements of the drivetrain tyres and even wheels

Nah man just get a new CX bike with tiagra and call it a day

Fuck off, roadie. Dont you have some lycra to jerk off into?

Op, if you want a bike that performs well on ALL terain get a 29 hardtail MTB. if you want to go from point a to b as fast as possible and dont care about comfort or going off a paved road then get a road bike, wear lycra and be a prententious little faggot. If you want a little of both then listen to>>1016191

Jeez, someone hasn't got laid in a while. ED getting you down? Or are you just super insecure about your feelings towards other men?

Anyway.
It's pretty apparent you've never ridden a road bike, or at least not one that fits.
There is nothing uncomfortable about a road bike, only a poorly fitting one. Or one that some retard had put a gel fucking saddle on because they think that's more comfortable. Hint: It's not.
And this assumption that road bikes can't go off road is total bull. They can, and do.
Yes, you're not going to be riding MTB trails on one, but OP never said that is what he wanted to do.
CX is probably a great call.

But apparently everyone is gay (this is 2016 and you still think that's an insult...) and wrong, apart from you of course.

digging your own grave, fool.

Oh no, you need new TIRES? IF ONLY THEY WERE EASY ENOUGH TO CHANGE IN 5 MINUTES

Get a chromoly frame, carbon fork fixie with cruiser/moustache bars and no brakes.
That or a crust bike.

I was checking out some bikes for my lady earlier in the year. Some notable value brands were Cell, Avanti and Jamis. She ended up getting a Jamis Helix because it came in a model with mods for women, but that brand was pretty good value overall with a nice balance of components and comfy geometry.

I looked at a TON of cheap bikes to get to that as well.
