Hello Guys,
I am looking to join the cycle to work scheme this year as i currently bike to work on a Hlafords Carrera and i would like to replace this with a road bike as i will be extending my journey for the way home.
The three bikes i have in mind are:
Orbea Aqua TSR 2010 £650
Giant Defy 3 2010 £625
Trek 1.2 T £650
I have read a few of the threads and notice the Orbeas are well reccomended and i do intend on trying each of the bikes before i buy but wondered if there are any tips or reccomendations you guys could make?
Does the Orbea stand out over the other two?
Is there another bike that could be put into the mix?
Also the scheme does allow me to spend up to £1000 after the tax deductions.
The bikes above plus accesories comfortably fit into my monthly budget.
My question here is, would it be worth me spending the whole £1000 or therabouts?
This would then include the Giant Defy 2 at £825, Orbea Aqua T105 or TVL and Trek 1.5
Decisions Decisions.
