Hi I’m having trouble deciding on which of these 2 bikes I should go for. Both are within £10 of each other at £389 and £399 at Ashcycles and I’m not sure which one would suit me more. The bike is mainly for weekend use – with some short to medium trips planned – mainly shorter trips under 20 miles with nothing more than 50 miles predominantly road but with the odd light trail.
The Giant Escape M 0 - Zero 2009 has better gears I think with Shimano Deore shifters, front and rear mech, but the Giant Escape R1 2009 - Medium and Large has the bigger 700cc wheels which would no doubt benefit over the longer distance.
Which one should I plump for?? Views greatly appreciated…I’m going blind!
p.s. I’ve also seen a Giant CRS 1.0 Gents 2009 for £429 this has the bigger wheels – should this also be considered as an alternative?
