Dawes OR Giant

TomHut

Hello Everyone,

Hope i found the right forum?? posted this on the 'Road buying advice' without thinking..dont think they were to impressed with my price range...

Only had crappy mountain bikes in the past but want to buy my first road/hybrid bike. need to cycle for rehab for a Op ive had recently, although not looking to spend a lot to start with, im hoping i will get into it and eventually start to join friends who already go on biking weekends etc

This might sound a silly question to some, so you must excuse my ignorance!!

For £200 I've been offered a secondhand Dawes Discovery 601 (2009) that has just had a service and has been well looked after.

OR/BUT

I quite like the look of a Giant Rapid 4 (2011)!! which at some reputable online retailers is sold for £375

I'd go for the Dawes. 9 speed transmission so a wider range of cassettes available and despite its' age more current equipment
