Help for new bike for newbie

Erna123

Hi, I was looking for a new hybrid bike under 200 € for random commute to office and some leisure riding at weekends . Could you pls advice on which of these would be the best buy . Read a few posts here already abt Trax , so think the Trax bike may be ruled out. Still adding it here, in case this one is good.

or should I maybe forget all of these and look out somewhere else..

There's nothing wrong with trax per say. The problem lies with cheap bikes in general. It costs a certain amount to build a bike and bring it to the market and if you're asking price is below a certain level then you're going to have to cut corners. This is true for apollo, trax, raleigh or anyone else. It doesn't really matter which of those three you choose as whichever one you pick it's only going to be luck which holds it together.

Alternatively you could try to find something decent second hand.
