Hi all, I'm moving this thread as like an idiot I didn't read the instruction to post 'what bike' questions here and put it in beginners instead
So - I've been to my local bike shop - great people - free servicing for life which I feel is a better deal than any internet discount I could get.
What I would like to know is people's opinion of the Giant Dash 1? I've been riding a cheapy Gryphon which I've had for 4 years and it's getting a little creaky now - I'm sure a decent service would fix most things but my other half wants to treat me to a new bike (I know - how lucky am I).
Anyway I really don't want drop bars, I'll be using the bike mostly for commuting and a bit of weekend fun, so being able to see in traffic is fairly important (although a large part of my journey to work is down lanes).
I want something fast a light - the Dash 2 looked ok, but I really only want the double crankset as that's what I have now. The Dash 1 is £200 more so is the extra money worth it?
I'd be grateful for any help you could offer before I part with (my other half's ) cash.
Cheers
