Hello
I current;y have a Alaska Barracuda 606alloy, but was thinking whether its worth getting a Carrera Subway 1 or a Giant Escape?
I only cycle on roads,cycle paths and tow paths so nothing too taxing really.

thanks

    Probably, it'll be lighter and faster with higher specified,longer lasting parts.

    So... what don't you like about the Alaska?

    What is your daily distance?
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.
