My second thread - slightly different theme.
I am thinking about using a bike to commute to work (about 14 miles) a couple of sdays a week. Its a long climb on the way home and I may decide to dive off-road on to some forest paths.
Therefore whilst I was originally thinking of a hybrid, I now think a cross bike is probably more what I am looking for.......but there is such a wide choice it is beginning to make my head spin.
Because of the climb the bike has to be light and I am willing to spend up to 1,000 for the right machine.
Any advice?
I already have two road bikes and two mountainbikes but none seem to fit my bill (in any evcent a good excuse to buy a new bike!)
