I'm going to be purchasing a bike through the cyclescheme. I used to have a road bike but sold it recently as I did not use it as much as I should. I am definitely going to buy a hybrid bike.

I'm looking at either the Pinnacle Lithium 5 or the Fuji Absolute 1.3 but can't make up my mind between the two.

I'll be using it for my fairly flat commute to work and also to go out cycling with my two infant sons. I will also want to be able to put a baby seat on the back for my daughter. I have no idea about bikes really or what brakes are better on either bike. So can I please get some opinions.

Thanks for looking and for any help/opinions received.

Both look nice bikes to me, i really would suggest trying them out though. They have different geometry and so do you. You wouldn't buy a sofa based on the quality of it's material would you? nah you'd take a seat, and you really need to do that with your bike.

Best of luck!
