Advice on hybrids

[RedDwarfUK]

I know its a retro bike forum, but I wonder if anyone could give advice on a new hybrid bike for around £1000. I was looking at the Scott Sportster P1 but I would love other peoples comments.

Why would you want to?

Get a touring bike, it'll be much more satisfying than some stupid hybrid thing.

How about a Hewitt Cheviot?

Its a retro forum, so this is OT! Moved..

Seems an odd choice of bike to spend a LOT of money on?

I mean with specific types of bikes, I can see the sense in spending mucho money, if you're semi-serious about it - but a compromise type of bike?

May I ask what you want to use it for? Then we may be able to advise better. If as I suspect you will be using mainly for road use but the odd bit of tow path etc I would reccomend something like this....

Im sure there may be people who will disagree with my advice, and as I said we really need to know what your using it for?

a friend spent a fair amount on a Boardman hybrid .
nice bike , but now he is more into cycling it is not good enough .

you might be better off with a cyclo x .

Seconded: for mostly road use, with a bit of offroad - get a 'cross bike
for mostly offroad - get a mountainbike, even if it is a 29er.

Singular Peregrine? Plenty of build options and should be able to build one up for £1000...maybe a tad over
