I am look for a bit of assistance in choosing a new bike! I am relatively new to cycling and currently have a cheap Raleigh Manic Mountain Bike, as most of my cycling is on roads and pathways my MTB is a bit cumbersome and heavy. I have been looking at Hybrid books but as I am a novice have suddenly got all these choices:-
1) Brand - Have been looking at GT Tachyon 2 and Carrera Crossfire 2 (budget is around £300)
2) V-Brakes or Disc Brakes or Hydraulic Disc
3) Front Suspension or no suspension
4) Sizes of tyres, used to chunky MTB tyres so a bit wary of using thin tyres
5) Type of gears, Shimano Acera, Tourney, Altus, etc.
I am 6'0 and 103kg
Any advice????
