help...
ive been looking for a new bike around the £600 mark...but there are so many to choose from...having done some research and spoken to various people it has come down to either a specialized sirrus elite or a trek 7.5fx, both 2010 models....but which one...reviews seem to show little apart from people say its the best bike they have ever had, whichever bike they are referring to....the only negative feedback ive seen is for the specialized saying the handling isnt great, though others say its good..??....both have the same gear ratios, slightly different size tyres....different components as the trek is mostly bontrager compared to shimano for the specialized...
so....any thoughts...ideas....i want the bike as a general around town and out for the weekend 40 miles plus, london to brighton and more maybe....
ive looked at double front rings and dont think with my current status of having a young child i will be able to keep up the level of fitness required for hill climbing on a double...but a triple will allow me to have the granny ring just in case....so it will definately be one of these bikes...just...which one...
