New commute suggestions

[mynydd]

hi all
After suggestions for a new commuter.
I live at 1300 feet and commute to work at sea level every day, in all weathers.
So, I want something with hydraulic disks (have them on my Canyon, and love them) and really good, easy gearing for coming home........
Something simple, and as cheap as possible via the c2w scheme
I’ve been using a Tricross daily for the last four years, but really want something with discs now after too many wet mornings when I have to walk downhill......
I’m after a really simple, cheap, workhorse
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You say cheap, what is your budget?
I’m struggling to find anything cheap with Hydraulic discs.

Looks superb, but would rather hydraulic discs

Boardman CX Team?

Not 'cheap' cheap but well specced and good value for the money, uncomplicated but bullet proof SRAM Rival 1x11 set up with low enough gearing for that homeward climb and hydraulic discs, rack / mudguard mounts and under the C2W limit?

Whyte RD-7 framed bike (Dorset, Suffolk etc.) - I have a Dorset from 2014 that I've upgraded to 105 + TRP HyRds (same spec as the Suffolk was which I actually wanted but there was no stock).

Still love riding it.

Ha ha.... actually I have been thinking this may be the way to go in a few years time.... the hill Home isnt getting any smaller....

Re my original question, I’ve decided to buy new bits and pieces for my current commuter, new wheel rims and decent brake pads should help with the stopping. And I e realised I really like the gearing for the homeward journey.....

Thanks for all the suggestions though
