Hi People,

Am up for some advice please, all (constructive) advice gratefully received

I admit I know very little about bikes and having recently returned from my first weekend bike ride in over 20 years I once gain feel compelled to get out more, which means buying a bike and not renting one !

I'm currently looking at two hybrids and would like to know which offers the best value for money (more bang for your buck):

Trek 8.5

Cube Pro Nature

I'm not looking at a lot of heavy duty off roading, more track, cycle ways and so on, so bypassed the mountain bike and skipped straight to hybrids. I'm quite happy to take a steer on what ever people think, so please feel free to critique the above or recommend an atlernative (max £800).

Thanks people, look forward to all replies...

Is Cannondale available by you?

I'd suggest their Quick or Adventure models, but then again I'm a Cannondale Fan.

No idea ... Never heard of them, will take a look

Trek is fine, I have a 4300 I cannot break.

Thanks, just seen the specialized sirrus comp 2012 as well... Within my budget.

Well went to the shop today and the guy compared the components of each in my short list. Went with the Cube Nature Pro in the end.... Arriving in 2-3 weeks. Will let you know how I get on.
