    Hey everyone, 

    I’m a bit of a biking noob if I’m honest. I bought my first bike a few months back which was a rubbish Viking Phantom Road Bike that didn’t cost me much but it’s a decision I definitely regret!

    Flashforward a few months and my wife and I are looking to start commuting to work via bike as opposed to using cars/public transport.

    We’re doing it for environmental but also health reasons. With Christmas just around the corner we thought it’d be a good idea to try and shed a few pounds before the season of mince pies and endless tempting sugary carbs  gets into full swing!

    She’s sorted for a bike but I’m looking to replace my Viking before I make cycling my main choice of commuting. 

    I should probably get to the point now haha. The reason I want urgent advice is because I’d like to try and take advantage of the last black friday/cyber monday savings that are ending on this “Last Chance Tuesday” night. 

    I want quality but not looking to spend that much more than £600. I’ve been scowering the sales and have narrowed it down to these three road bikes (which I assume is the best type of bike to go for for commuting haha). 

     

    1) Cannondale Synapse Disc Tiagra 6

    3) 13 Intrinsic Beta Road Bike

    Which of these bikes would you guys suggest us the right one to go for? Any speedy advice would be greatly appreciated due to potentially saving a lot of moolah! 

    Thanks in advance guys

    Cannondale Synapse Disc – you

    Cannondale Synapse Disc – you’ll appreciate the stopping power of the disc brakes the first time someone pops out of a T-junction in front of you #voiceofexperience. Looks like it will also take mudguards.

    Well, I’d go for one of the two with Tiagra (i.e. not the Intrinsic)  and I think I would opt for the Cannondale – a well-known and respected brand.  Think the Tiagra on the Cannondale is a more recent one as well, judging from the hidden cables.  Good luck
