Any cheap offers on 'city' bikes atm?

notnot

I use a Giant MTB with slicks for getting round the city at the moment - rides normally less than a few miles each way. It's getting that the point where lots of things on the bike need repairing/replacing - will make more financial sense to replace at some point this year I think. Seen any good offers on 'city'-type bikes lately? Flat or drop bars are fine, but need a few gears at least (some of these few miles is a hill!)

Half-tempted by this, though seems overkill for short distances http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/product ... 2fbicycles Any other suggestions?

I have the 2011 version of one of these:

Courier Race Disc '13



It's a brilliant commuting/town bicycle, and I always tend to gravitate towards it if I just feel like going for a no fuss ride.

Also, if you want to save some cash, they do a 'V Brake' version: Revolution Courier Race '13

I should imagine the Country Traveller would be just as good. It also seems to come with the obvious accessories (rack & guards).

Thanks - courier does also look nice. Will see how much it works out with mudguards (and probably rack). Or any other suggestions would be grand

Ended up getting a Ridgeway Adventure bike secondhand from my LBS. I quite like it - twist gear shifting, 700C wheels and 725 crmo frame (but a couple of kg lighter than my MTB)

Now I just need to decide whether my MTB crudguards look silly enough on the hybrid for it to be worth me buying some new mudguards...

New mudguards, the cruddies would be OK on a more MTB look hybrid, not on that!
