Ok, I think I've narrowed it down to three bikes. The bikes chosen are due to the deals I can get on them as well as the type of bike they are. The bikes are:
1) Norco Search S3 for £370
My pros: || My cons:
Disc brake || No dual brake levers
Evans customer care ||
2) Claud Butler Alto CX13 for £420
My pros: || My cons:
Disc brake || Horrid colour
Dual brake levers || Buying online
Felt good and study to sit on || Most expensive
Biggest saving from RRP ||
3) Specialized Tricross X3 2014 for £370
My pros: || My cons:
Dual brake levers || No disc brake
Good reputation || Lower spec'ed components
High resell value || Buying online
I know they aren't the most expensive bikes but I'm comfortable that for the price they are good bikes (bang for buck).
So which one is it?
BTW the Marin Lombard would've been about £450 but it wouldn't have dual brake levers and I do think those are needed as three miles of my journey will be in busy traffics junctions. Adding them would make it £500.
would still suggest you actually go and try a few bikes before making a decision
