I'm glad you've got a model in mind, Lagan , rather than being in that " I don't which way to turn" state that is so easy to fall in to.
I must say that this topic has got me thinking about how we choose bikes. The first thing to remmeber and often the easiest to forget is that one's bike is very personal. As with all personal things, we often think ours is best and can also get very defensive if that choice is questioned or criticised. Then all hell breaks loose and we are on 142 posts of slagging off!!!
I must say that I think anyone who wants advice on which bike they should buy should follow TWB's lead and not ask "which bike should I buy?", but rather "which bike did you buy and why?".
Then they can start looking through the responses for people who had similar needs to their own: route, luggage, price, performance etc...
