Think you need to sort out your links, they all lead to "Page not found".

I used to have a genesis croix de fer. Was a good bike, done a lot of commuting on it but was pretty heavy so probably not so good for racing. Sold it and bought a 29er, not quite as fast but a lot more fun to ride.

If you've got the choice I'd suggest going for something with disc brakes, they work consistently when it's wet which is a godsend for an 'all weather' commuting bike.

I've got a Boardman Team CX which I'm very happy with. I changed from SRAM Apex to Shimano 105/Tiagra because that's what I was used to from my road bike, I also upgraded the wheels but that was down to weight/vanity rather than any actual problem with the stock ones.
