Thanks
@PermaBanned for your help. One more question - OK there really isn't much in the difference in spec, however, there is a difference in weight, the Boardman Hybrid Team comes in at 10.3kg on reviews, while the Nakisi is stated as 12.3kg, is that difference not significant? Or rather, is it a case that I personally probably wouldn't notice a couple of kilos either way?
2Kg is roughly the difference between my Cube road bike and my Voodoo fatbike (using my alternative 29er wheelset and a decent light pair of ~320g 28mm slicks), it makes heck of a difference when I do local hill reps on inclines in the range of approximately 6-20% over ~0.5 miles... It's even more intense at the mo using 38mm studded tyres that are ~750g each.
I chose the Voodoo Wazoo as a bike to give my riding confidence again, after a big RTA, where I tried to make a jigsaw out of my maxilla and right hand. If I was looking for a commuter, the Boardman Hybrid Team would be on my shortlist, 10Kg for a flat bar bike under £600 with BC discount is very hard to beat.
But drop bar bikes do have their advantages, such as reduced aero drag downhill and on the flat. The Nakisi is a bit of a tank at ~12Kg, but I'd put money of those 40mm wire bead Speedster tyres being 500+ grams each, so you could save some weight there along with upgrading the finishing kit to go sub 11Kg. However, personally, I would not want the agro of regularly having to tweak cable disc brakes (they are not self-adjusting like hydraulic brakes).
