After being involved in a bicycle vs car accident I've been spending my recovery time online looking at possible replacement bikes and I've made the following shortlist...

Focus Mares AX or CX 105

Kinesis Pro6 Crosslight

Genesis Croix De Fer 20 or Decade

Whyte Saxon Cross

Opinions? This is to replace my Genesis Day One Alfine, which I loved but it was a hell of a tank. I used it for commuting 14 miles a day across roads, canals and dirt roads as well as some light touring. I also used to have a Trek road bike that I used for more fun riding but that was stolen 1 1/2 years ago and I'd like to now get the best of both in one.

My absolute max budget is £1500 but I'd rather not spend it all if possible.

I'm open to other suggestions but I'd like to stick to the shortlist
