Giant vs merida
Postby Renata26 » Sat Jan 24, 2015 5:34 pm
Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on purchasing a bike to commute 15kms (one way) to work. I want something low fuss and like the ease that a hybrid bike offers. I don't intend to race just commute. I've narrowed it down to the Merida crossway 100 and the giant cross city 1. Does anyone have one that can provide some pros and cons... I've tried both and am indecisive . Thanks

The Cross City is a flat-bar road bike, not a hybrid. The Roam is closer to being Giant's equivalent to the Crossway.
I haven't dealt with Merida for a few years, but the shop I'm in used to sell them alongside Giant. At least then, quality was similar, and I see no reason why Merida would change significantly, but they tended to be a little bit more expensive for a similar spec than Giant.

I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
