The Merida.

Easy choice.

Very impressed with what you get for your money here.

You can get hold of a Boardman for a fraction more (even less on Bike to work schemes etc?

The Carrera is probably the best-specced bike out of the three - that would be my choice..

Merida for me, it came out high in the C+ boty I recall.

Might be worth checking out your local Halfords for the 07 Vanquish - they are not online anymore but I went into my local store today looking at roofboxes and they had the 07 with full Tiagra for £260, with a £20 accessory voucher

walked away with a very decent winter trainer with Crud Road Racer gaurds for £267, brand new in the box for me to put together later/tomorrow

well worth a trip down or phone call
