New bike thoughts - Giant Revolt.

Gravel bike, general all rounder, on & off road, not planning on doing any heavy offroading or jumps.

Giants seem to have generally good build quality and good components for the money.

Current bike is an early 2000s Giant Xtc hardtail owned from new, still running the original bearings & bottom bracket, pedals haven't fallen off, no major failures.

£1.2k base model - £5.5k top spec is kinda out the question currently though.

So it's about £150 of entry level but new parts & tools off Ebay.

Shifter cable inners

Alivio cassette

Shimano chain

Buckloss crank set chain rings

Alivio rear derailleur

Master link pliers

Crank removal tool

Chain whip

Cassette lock ring tool

Dot 4 Brake fluid

Sometimes it's not worth doing up old bikes if it's going to cost more in parts vs buying a new bike but it'll do for now and rides okay.
