Hi all,
My Ridgeback Meteor was recently stolen so I'm looking to get a new hybrid bike. I was happy with this bike but it was a bit heavy and i'm looking for something a bit faster.
My budget is £650 and I would like to get the best specced bike for the money (substance over style
)
My shortlist based on my inexperienced search is:
TREK FX3 Disc
https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/bike ... c/p/21572/
Ridgeback Vanteo 2018
https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Ridgeback-Vant ... JSTPD_BwE#
HOY Shizuoka .002 2018 Hybrid Bike
https://www.evanscycles.com/hoy-shizuok ... e-EV246155
I'm also open to suggestions if there's a bike that's clearly better!
Thank you guys

If you can stretch your budget a bit this is a decent spec for the money. Hydraulic disk brakes and full carbon fork.
The only question is whether you get on with the 1x drivetrain; only one chainring up front, but a wide range cassette at the back.
It's mechanically simpler without shifting at the front, but it can make for bigger jumps between gears. How hilly is your commute?
Alternatively, the http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/h ... 4cm-frames is a nice buy too.
