Lets get one thing straight before we start... I would like to point out that the head of HR for the company I work for has told me that this is not a cycle to work scheme and I do not have to use the scheme to get a bike for cycling to work on.... Now that is out of the way, lets get down to the bizz.
I have £500 to spend at Halfords, but £500 is not going to get me a bike that I want or need., so I`m going to get something for the wife. I want to get a nice looking non sus bike for her for Summer day rides together. She is using my Boardman MX Race (sus fork) at the moment, but its too big for her in my opinion and she wont do drops, so I`m looking at hybrids
£449 http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/boardman-hybrid-comp-womens-bike
£400 (Looks nice, but how do they manage to get a carbon forked bike to 13kg?) http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/13-intuitive-lambda-womens-hybrid-bike
£449 http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/13-implicit-alpha-hybrid-bike-2015
£549 (10.9kg, Tiagra) (yes its £50 over budget but I`m sure Halfords will take a £50 bung)

Any input?
