Due to silly fuel prices and that I may be moving to Denmark later this year I am looking for a decent commuter bike. Shortlisted 2 atm.

Trek Soho

And the Boardman Hybrid team

The spec of the boardman seems to good to be true. anyone got any experiance of the bike or any other options? I'll be riding about 10 miles each way max.

Can't really comment on the specific bikes, but apparently (according to MBR) the reason the spec appears so good on Boardman bikes is because they are both sold and manufactured by Halfords, hence there are no distribution costs, and they can splash a little more cash on the spec. Surprised they put disc brakes on commuter bikes.
