A mate has the GT 4 - he was never going to buy a road bike or ride on road, so I guess that is a recommendation!

I have a Scott Speedster S50 that I have had for a couple of years and it has been fine. I bought it as a commuter and have done about 8k kms on it with no real dramas. I had to buy a new rear wheel as the roads kept putting it out of true so I needed something stronger but apart from that I have changed nothing.

fair enough. Id get the cheapest then, cant imagine that much between them. the only issue for winter riding is that they wont take proper mudguards.
