    I want to start cycling to one of my jobs (3 days a week 11 miles each way) but cant face taking my dialled alpine out just for the hassle of tyres and suspension and maintenance so Ive been looking at Specialized and Trek, dont know enough to continue my search but these sound good?

    Trek 1.5 compact £770
    Trek 1.2 compact £620
    Specialized Allez (500-800£)

    are there anythings im missing thats a strong contender or if you could advise going with 1 over the other purely for parts?

    any idea of rough weights of these also or things like "those tyres are pap"

    the rides not overly hilly but its a bit bumpy and country roads 7 miles of the way

    going to cycletowork scheme it so it should pay for itself in just a couple of months!
