Hi All,
Newbie here looking at his first Hybrid bike.
With my £650 budget, 80% which will covered by my employer I have shortlisted the following Specialized and Boardman 2021 bikes.
Either the Specialized Sirrus 2.0 or Sirrus X 2.0 (Do really like the look of the X model with fatter 42mm tyres)
Or the Boardman HYB 8.6 and Boardman URB 8.6.
Usage will be mostly weekends or spring/summer evenings with mixture of roads and country lanes.
I'm not sure if I really need all the extra gearing of the Sirrus 2.0 and Boardman HYB and the Boardmans do seem to use better components in the entry level bikes than Specialized.
Could I not get best of both worlds by adding 42mm tyres to the Boardman URB, would they even fit.
