I want a commuting bike that can double up as a winter trainer, essentials are;
- Disc brakes
- Mudguard mounts
- Rack Mounts
- Drop Bar
I think I'm between;
Genesis Croix de fer 20
Ribble CGR AL
Genesis appeals because of the steel frame mainly and the brand.
Ribble appeals because of the better specced kit.
Negatives for the genesis are lower spec finishing kit (mainly the non hydro brakes) and reviews suggesting an unlively ride.
The Ribble is currently in the outlet so is £1199, the Genesis is £1340 - I'd be buying on cycle scheme so the indicated price is £636 for the Ribble or £710 for the Genesis.
Conflicted on which way to go, heart saying Genesis, head saying Ribble
