Decision Time!!!

Alright Lads

After years of knocking around for years on a viking mountain bike I have finally decided to upgrade to a Road/Commuter Bike. I have narrowed my next bike down to the following three, has anyone any opinions on the following?

Scott just based on looks opinion of the brand over the others.

These bikes look more like cyclo-cross. I would go with the Scott first. The Raleigh is a close second. Forget the other.

Can you find the weight of the frame/fork alone? How about the total weight of the complete bike?

Check out your warranties and if there are any crash replacement schemes. They're close enough that if one had a buy back scheme or better guarantee, I would go with them.

Out of those 3 I would lean towards the Scott too. However if I was in the market for that type of bike, I would go for this one:

Had a loan of one for a few days and fell in love with it.

+1 for the Scott.

Forget about suspension on a commuter bike. It's a waste of money, and has no real benefits unless you intend to do some proper off roading.
