New Bike Choices: De Vinci St. Tropez, Giant Cypress Dow Or Brodie Sterling

[newtothis31]

Hi guys,

I'm buying my first hybrid bike and have narrowed down to the following three choices.

De Vinci St. Tropez
Giant Cypress DOW 2015
Brodie Sterling Mixte 2015

All are pretty close in price (if you consider that the Sterling comes with the fenders, etc.). My preference is for an upright position, and all three bikes felt pretty good on my test run. I tried De Vinci St tropez first, and liked it a lot and felt it was very smooth, specially the gear changes. But not sure if that is because i tried the other two after and had already tried a bunch of bikes in between! : )

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thank you,

N.

I think I'd rule out the De Viinci St. Tropez, and leave the other two options because of personal preference. I think it all comes down to what you're expecting in terms of performance, as well as where you'd cycle.
