Just wondering if anyone here has one of these? I'm after a 'hybrid' such as
this bike.
The Giant Perigee looks good too. Anyone ridden both? I wanted an informed
opinion rather than a bike shop opinion - which is of course skewed towards
whatever they sell!
Thanks

Oops. I meant the Sport not the Comp.

9 bikes!
Not a bad effort.
I lived in a share flat when I was at uni and we had 16 bikes between 2 of
us. A couple of training bikes each, a 'good' race bike, and a pub bike.
Plus about 30 sets of wheels!
The Avanti you mean I guess is the Avanti Blade Comp? Looks good actually. I
owned an Avanti Barracuda which was stolen 2 weeks ago... first time I have
ever had a bike nicked! Bloody annoying. Since I bought mine the Barracuda
has become more and more 'serious' - disk brakes and all now. I didn't want
a mtb though, too slow on the road.
What do you mean the Perigee is 'more of a hybrid' - leaning in which
direction do you think?

Hey, i gotta Barracuda (no. its not yours!

I think the Avanti Blade frame is the same as the Specialized Sirrus
The Sirrus sport model is probably better than the Blade Sport (althoug
at $200 RRP cost), I think for the price the Blade Comp is good valu
with a 105 derailer. I would've bought the Blade Comp had I not found
discounted '03 Specialized Sport
Can't tell you much about the Perigee, although I've heard it is a bi
heavier than the Blade/Sirrus. However it potentially has bette
fittings than it's equivalent
Overrall a good bike for road riding, pretty fast, light an
comfortable
