Hi Stefan,

All the bikes you mention can be found online with details and reviews too. They each have their differences so it's hard for anyone to say which is better for you but given the prices you mention i personally would look between the badboy and the CX1. And yes, the CX1 price is good compared to a new price, but used..i don't know, you'll need to check.

If it is at all possible see if you can borrow a bike for a few days and ride the places you think likely you will go the most, a commute run etc and see the terrain. My commute goes mostly cycle paths, alleyways and residential roads and i am very glad of the front suspension, when i turn it off it's a hard ride. But maybe your council is better than mine at repairing roads etc !

Best of luck.
