Hi folks, I'm planning to start cycling and debating between the following 3 models:
1. Btwin Triban RC 100 from decathlon - Road bike with a flat bad, not drop handles
2. Btwin Riverside 500 from decathlon - Hybrid
3. Firefox Roadrunner PRO D - Hybrid
While the road bike is super light at just 11kgs, the hybrid isn't too heavy at 14kgs (My old Hercules single speed tips the scales at a cool 18kgs). My riding will be on city roads (with some famous Mumbai potholes) , some on a nice straight stretch of highway during weekends. My worry is the road bike w/o suspension will be very uncomfortable on bad roads. Does anyone have experience with any of the above models or road bikes in general in Mumbai / bad roads in India?
