Giant Roam 2 or 3?

Hi,

First post, so hello to everyone!

Apart from the Disc Brakes I really cannot see much difference between the two - apart from £100. I'll use it mostly on the road so not sure I will need disc brakes anyway. Any real reason I would choose the Roam 2 over the Roam 2?

Cheers!

Tony...

They're both identical apart from the brakes and the drive chain. I am a newbie and just need a little help deciding

Looks like the 2 has slightly better components. If you'll be riding on mainly roads, why not get a rigid fork with the Giant Escape?
