Hello,
So after falling off my bike and managing to write it off on Saturday I started looking off a new bike, I really wanted a road bike. I also told my neighbour of the accident and how I had damaged my bike. Ten minutes later he comes back to me offering to sell his Boardman Team hybrid and about £150 worth of accessories for about £350, he bought them from the cycle to work scheme and has not used it at all. I'm not too worried about the accessories as most will overlap with what I already have. I mainly ride on the road and cover distances of about 30miles each time I go out, bear in mind that this was on a very heavy BSO mountain bike. My budget is about £350. Before I was offered this I was looking at the Decathlon Tribal 3.
What I want to know is:

What I want to know is:
- How different are are the riding positions on road bikes compared to hybrids, assuming the hybrid has bar ends?
- What would be best for longish rides, about 100 miles?
- What would people generally choose?
