Hi! I'm new here and I hope you can give me some guidance. I mentioned in a previous (and more ignorant) post that I have to part ways with my trusty road bike for 5 years. It wasn't anything special, just a couple of parts and wheels that served me really well for a long time.
Now that I have to get something new I wanted to upgrade a little bit. I want something mainly for my day to day in the city, with the possibility of doing some biking on the outskirts, mainly roads and some easy-going gravel. I'd would also like it to have a front rack for carrying light stuff (not more than 10kg, and I don't know, I just like the front ones better).
It's also important to say that I live in a city with a lot of bike theft, so even though I'd like it, I don't want anything super flashy.
I've narrowed it down to a couple of options, and maybe you can help me decide which one is best bang for the buck, and would make more sense for my needs. I guess the two first ones are the one that make more sense, but I'm also in love with the last one. The descriptions are really vague, I know, but it's what the sellers published.
