Carrera Vanquish Vs Raleigh Airlite 300?

[michaelf]

Hi,

My company is offering me the chance to buy a discounted bike as part of a "cycle to work" initiative. I am restricted to purchasing the bike at Halfords. I am looking at the Carrera Vanquish and the Raleigh Airlite 300 - both are priced at £499, Can anyone please advise which is the better bike?
