Just put a post on here about discount vouchers for a carrera gryphon. I have a budget of £350 from experience / knowledge / etc, am I going for the right bike or is there one better. I chose a hybrid as I'm worried drops will kill my back (not wimping just have temperamental back) would appreciate input.

as above^ don't worry too much about drops, you'll ride on the bars or the hoods, lots more positions than on a flat bar to help keep you comfortable, and if you get the right size for your style of riding, won't be an issue with your back/neck/shoulders. I know lots of people who went down the hybrid route for same reasons only to spend more a year later on a road bike - good luckAll lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....0

As above. Get a road bike with Endurance or relaxed geometry. They are so much better on the road than a hybrid even if you never use the drops. Most riders will only use the drops maybe 10% of the time anyway.
The only trouble is for £350 for a road bike you'll struggle but you can get a hybrid.0
