Hi guys im after a new bike to get me going again, my current bike is a Carrera Gryphon that I paid just under £200 a few years back, im looking to upgrade now
im after a bike that is basically the best bang for buck in terms on quality, gears, comfort and lightweight as well, I know it's a lot to ask but I'm sure there's something out there with current sales, I prefer not to have suspension on the front even though I found a few good discounts on some,
here are some bikes that have caught my eye, I noticed its so difficult to pick a good bike because there is so much choice + if you don't really know about the components you could really buy a bike that has the same stuff as a bike half the price well anyway here's the bikes I've stumbled upon, if there's others in this range then please let me know im looking to make a purchase today or within the next 2 days
the type of riding I do is via canal paths, some road, some footpaths, I like a comfortable relaxed position, I like light bikes as I have a lot of hills in my area
so I guess a bike that will do fine uphills too, the size I would need is size S, ive managed to find the Whyte carnaby instore sat on it and it was a nice bike sadly they had no other in stock instore to try
Giant Escape 3 Disc £479 using the discount code EXTRA10 brings it down to under £440 which is a nice price but there's no mention of weight

I tried also looking for a nice specialized bike but they seem to be out of budget even with current sales
I also noticed there's other Whyte bike variants in the price range but they all look the same to me I'm not sure what the difference is, other models I seen was Whitechapel, Portobello, Shoreditch
