Which hybrid?

Ah you might be right. To be honest I also looked at the norco - like I say I had the same budget. They have really good reviews. They're Canadian I think.

Been down to Evans and test rode the Norco VFR-4 and on the advise of the sales guy also test rode the Pinnacle Lithium 1 (which is apparently Evans own make). Both seemed good with the Norco slightly more comfortable with better saddle and hand grips (although the Lithium 1 was not uncomfortable). The salesman said that the Lithium 1 had a better spec with lifetime frame guarantee, 'racing wheels', better rear derailleuer and was lighter - what do you think ~ links http://www.evanscycles.com/products/pin ... 92#reviews andhttp://www.evanscycles.com/products/nor ... e-ec041286.

I was also thinking whether it would be worthwhile spending another £50 and going for the Pinnacle Lithium 2 or the Norco VFR-3 - links http://www.evanscycles.com/products/nor ... e-ec041286 andhttp://www.evanscycles.com/products/nor ... e-ec041287 ??

still to check out the Carrera Subway.........

I looked at the pinnacle and thought it was very good for the money. I think you go with whichever feels better for you and whichever has the highest spec for your money. I was also in the "do I spend an extra £50?" Frame of mind. You have to be careful on one hand cause you end up over spending but then while you're investing had you mays well get what you want...?
I went into halfords today as they are giving away free services for O2 and they have some dreadful bikes in there. I know they have some quality ones but the toy crap ones put me off them as a serious dealer if that makes sense??
Hope you get one soon. I know how hard it is to decide on a budget.
