New hybrid bike

leyuzzzz

So my Giant CRS 3.0 finally died. Not to get into much details I was fairly happy with it but I want something better.

I am commuting everyday around 40 miles a week. So I don't need something extra fancy but I prefer at least class higher then my CRS was. But I have completely no idea what to get. I prefer £400-600 range but I can spend up to £800 if it's something really worth it.

I want it to last and not give me much troubles with changing components any time soon (my CRS started giving me some troubles after about 2 years and now after 6 years it is wear down but I was cycling on it much more for years then I am cycling recently).

Any recommendations?

To narrow it down I don't want suspension and I do want disc breaks.

I narrow it down to those options:
Giant Roam 2 Disc '15

Specialized Sirrus Sport Disc '15

Specialized Crosstrail Disc 2015 Mens Hybrid Bike

Scott 2014 Sub Speed 10

(I like this one a lot but I like to fix my bikes on my own I am not sure about level of difficulty with this one, hears in hub and all)

The Giant Roam and the Spec Crosstrail both have front suspension, so that narrows it down a bit further

Have you looked at the Cube SL Road Pro? £600 and the spec is good for that price; the rear stays seem to be made out of noodles for the cheaper version, but this one might be stiffer.

Of those, I would go for the Sirrus. Having said that, I wouldnt go for the Sirrus - I would go for the Boardman Hybrid Team, with the carbon forks (15% off at the moment and if you are in British Cycling you can get another 10% off) or Whyte Portobello (at the top end of your budget) - both waaaay better than the options you list and really fun to ride - even long distances, I do 100 mile rides on my Boardman.

If you want value for money and even cheaper then the Decathlon Fit 500 is CRAZY CHEAP http://www.decathlon.co.uk/fit-500-flat ... 39798.html Carbon fork on a £300 bike?!?!?!?

On-one london road, discs, decent groupset, carbon forks, good price.

Sorry no link as my company's stazi firewall blocks it but website is http://www.on-one.co.uk and search for the London Road.
