Sorry but I couldn't seem to get an appropriate answer / point of view from a search of the forum.
Situation is as follows - I have recently started commuting on my bike, about 12-13 miles each way. My commute is about 50% off-road on fairly rough forest tracks. The other 50% is cycle paths and roads.
I am currently using my hard-tail mountain bike which is quite light but I would prefer something a bit quicker.
I have been looking at Hybrid's / cross bikes (I would prefer an upright seating position) but am getting lost in all the details!
Anyone in a similar position?
I am prepared to pay fairly big money to get the right bike (up to about 1,000 squids)
