Hi All,

I've narrowed down my choices to 3 bikes. Just need some help deciding - Main purpose is for commuting/ weekend bridleways, gravel roads and possibly future sportives.

Norco threshold alloy Sora 2016

Specialized Diverge A1 2015

Giant Revolt 1

Any thoughts as to which would be the best buy or any other suggestions? Thanks

    Of the 3, I'd get the Giant as it's fitted with TRP Spyre brakes and Tiagra. The Specialized has Spyres but Claris components.

    Thanks - I was swayed towards the Giant as well - do you think there is anything out there thats better for this price range?

    Not really the giant is a good reduced price for the spec. You would need to spend more to get better gears and hydraulic brakes. I have a Diverge which is a very good bike for me but from the list would go for the Giant based on spec.
