gb155

Ok I have FINALLY narrowed it down to 2 bikes.

Its a shoot out between

Trek Valencia @ £475

and

Scott Sub Classic 30 @ £440

Gentlement and Dave(s) May I have your thoughts please.

Trek DEAD, Though im promised I will have it back by this time tomorrow.

Decided to get a decent spare bike, budget is NOT A PENNY over £450 Really want a roadie but at my weight I just can trust it will last so will wait till next year, 700c wheels with 48/11 ratio are my only requirements

The Scott is described by its own website as a 'Speed Utility Bicycle' wheras the Trek is a 'Killer Commuter'. For that reason alone I go for the Trek

Is it just me or do the drop bars and brakes on the Revolution Cross look oversized for the bike frame?
At least you'll be able to pop down to their Manchester branch to check it out.
Anyway, the Revoolution cross is discussed here

Get the CX and see how you get on with it. then put some skinnier tires on it when you realize that you're weight won't be an issue.

I would say the Edinburgh cx - but why are they hiding the shifters in the photo? are they offensive/disturbingly disfigured ?

problems with those bikes is that they are all hybrid. Worst of both worlds basically!
