Last year I was T-boned as I was using a crossing on green by some f
ktard turning left Who just didn't see me
He pissed off after I moved out and I didn't get the reg So my bike suffered 2 bent wheels and a bend crank arms
Repaired the best I could replacing both wheels,cranks and BB However since the accident I have suffered pulls,strains and aches
So I'm thinking the bike was more damaged than I thought but it did seem to measure up... (also I spent more on the repair than the bike is worth @#$@)
Too much man maths so I'm going to get a new commuting bike !!
Since it's commuting I'm thinking a hybrid/cross again
I have two main picks :-
Jamis Coda Elite http://www.jamis-japan.com/coda-elite.html
520 Steel Frame
Disc's brakes
Deore Shifters (27 gears 3x9)
Carbon fork
Merida Gran 200 http://www.merida.jp/lineup/cross_bike/gran_speed_... (sorry it's japanese but the main spec are there)
Alu Frame
Disc's brakes
Sora Shifters (18 gears 2x9)
Carbon fork
There's not much in it but I have never ridden on steel or had a carbon fork
I know the Deore are more MTB and the Sora are road but I'm not sure how this will work on a Cross bike ?
So I'm not really sure which one is best for me
