Does your heart soar for Jack's All-City Mr Pink or Joe's Fairlight Secan? Vote in our community post on our YouTube channel!

Winter is well and truly here in Bristol and, with that in mind, Jack and Joe thought it was the perfect time to pit their respective winter bikes — Jack with his All-City Mr Pink and Joe with his Fairlight Secan — against each other to see which came out on top in our latest episode of BikeRadar Diaries.

We have also put the question out to a vote and, as with our last versus video — which saw Joe’s Trek Emonda pitted against Reuben’s Reily SL — whoever loses will be subjected to an oh-so-unpleasant forfeit.

We can’t tell you too much about that particular forfeit just yet, but we can assure you it will be painful, involve semi-nudity and hopefully be funny to watch.

Which bike would you choose? What would you change about either build? Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments here and on our YouTube channel.

Jack Luke is the deputy editor at BikeRadar and has been fettling with bikes for his whole life. Always in search of the hippest new niche in cycling, Jack is a self-confessed gravel dork, fixie-botherer, tandem-evangelist and hill climb try hard. Jack thinks nothing of bikepacking after work to sleep in a ditch or taking on a daft challenge for the BikeRadar YouTube channel. He is also a regular contributor to the BikeRadar podcast. With a near encyclopaedic knowledge of cycling tech, ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit, Jack takes pride in his ability to seek out stories that would otherwise go unreported. He is also particularly fond of tan-wall tyres, dynamo lights, cup and cone bearings, and skids. Jack has been writing about and testing bikes for more than six years now, has a background working in bike shops for years before that, and is regularly found riding a mix of weird and wonderful machines. Jack can also often be seen zooming about with his partner aboard their beloved tandem.
