Hi,
Im looking at getting my first bike and commuting alot during the week about 20km per day each day.
I also want to ride the bike alot for fitness rides on weekends too.
Most of my communiting is on road and over grass in parks and off the occasional gutter.
I am 6ft 7inch and I weigh 120kg so I need a bike that would suit my size and weight.
I think I would prefer flat barred bikes for an upright style.
Budget not a problem.
As I said main reasons for bike is for commuting lots and for fitness rides.
What model of bikes could be my best options?
I was leaning towards the Giant Cypress SX (comfort) or the FCR 1 (flat bar road bike) as options?
Which of these two options would you suggest for me?
I am also willing to hear of any other options in other brands?
Any help would be greatful.
Thanks.
