I am undecided between
Specialized Vita Disc 2017 Women's Hybrid and
Ridgeback Velocity (with Disc brakes) 2017
They are both roughly the same price.
I have yet to try the Specialized but have ordered it for a test ride on Monday.
I had a test ride on the Ridgeback and liked it, although I had to move the seat right back.
I am sort of wedded to Specialized as my last two bikes have been Specialized and I have been very happy with them, I am just concerned that the Ridgeback seems to have slightly better components - but Specialized have never let me down!
The Ridgeback is a unisex bike and I have never had a woman's bike before. I'm not convinced about the long leg / shorter torso theory.
Can anyone convince me that I should get one over the other? I am genuinely torn.
I'm using it to replace a hybrid that I used with a backrack to carry shopping, camping gear and touring up to 30-40 miles a day, sometimes off road on tracks. I want reliability, a comfy ride with gears to take me up steepish hills and an ability to carry stuff.
Thanks for your help!
