Hi all
I am gathering people thoughts on fast hybrids along the lines of Specialized Sirrus, Giant Escape etc.
I am not looking for something to replace my roadbike, but am looking for something which is comfortable, light and able to hold its own on long 50/60 mile fitness rides with my fellow riders, some of which will be riding roadbikes.
Terain will largely be road, some gentle towpaths with the kids at the weekend so traditional road tyres are out.
Also, what are peoples opinions on what’s best having a light bike with gears not suited for hills, or a heavier bike with hill taming gears ?
