Hello, Just after some tips on what bike to buy. I will be using the cycle to work scheme, using that I have a budget of £1000 to buy a bike and good lights as I will be using it on canals.
In short the bikes main purpose will be a commute once or twice a week. That will involve a short ride in the morning to the train station and on to work via the canal. Then a 28 mile ride home on road, canal and tracks. I will also give it the occasional outing around Rivington.
I have decide a cycle cross bike would be best. I have seen that there are about 20 different bikes in my budget and I have narrowed down to about 19. The last bike I bought was a Specialised Mountain bike about 13 years ago. To it's credit I still have it.
In short I have no idea, they all look the same. Parts mean nothing to me. Can someone point me at a good bike and I will buy it.
Cheers
