I am looking to revert back to a hybrid from a racer due to difficulties riding and changing gears (amputated fingers and half of both my feet). I had a hybrid which turns out to be the best compromise for me. I have a mountain bike but just can't get the speed (poor pedal power due to said amputations).

My question is which hybrid? I can stretch to a a £1000 (obviously the cheaper the better!) The 2013 Ridgeback 04 flight looks nice, as does the Cannondale quick 2012. I was made aware that the flight is not as comfortable as say, a Sirrus.

Can someone recommend a comfortable hybrid, good components on it, geared toward speed?
