I have a 20mile commute to work, which for the last 3 years I've been doing on a ridgeback tempest. I'd like something more road responsive - with larger wheels, lighter etc. I've come across this bike which is being sold from a local second hand bike dealer in Brighton. In your opinion does it look ok, parts/wheels etc? I do have a habit of making bad choices, so would love to have any advice. Obviously I know that you can't make much of a judgement by only looking at a picture!
I would of course love to buy a brand new bike, I've had my eye on the Specialized Tricross Sport, but sadly don't have the funds
Also, I've come to realise that the gearing componentry is pretty important, but I'm slightly confused as to what system is better than another. Is Deore the standard or should I be looking at something better?
Sorry, two questions in one!
thanks for any help!
