Hi,
I'm looking for a new hybrid for a good mix of general commuting, longer distance trail/off-road rides and the occasional multi-day tour with panniers on the back.
Having looked around I've narrowed it down to two options, the Trek 8.5 DS or the Scott Sub Cross 20.
None of my local bike shops have either in store, and I've struggled to find any reviews online, so I was wondering if anyone out there had experience of these or could offer any advice or opinions, or maybe even equivalent alternatives they recommend. Both roll in at around the £800 mark.
