Hi

Looking into getting a new hybrid bike mainly for work commuting. Stuck between two choices at the moment.

Sirrus sport 2013 model or sirrus elite 2012 model ( with carbon fork ).

Both bikes are same price and to me seem roughly same spec. With exception of carbon fork on elite and ( I think ) a lighter frame.

Any one got any thoughts on which is the best to go for?

Cheers

    Links would help......

    If they are the same except for the carbon fork, get the carbon fork!

    Bikes are only getting dearer or despecced at 2013, so generally the 2012 bikes are better VFM! If you want a Sirrus get the Elite.
