Hello,

I think I have settled on either of the two bikes above, any owners/opinions of either?

Is it worth paying £200 extra on the Genesis for Avid Mechanical Disc Brakes? My only experiance of mechanical disc brakes is on a mates Trek 29er and he has just changed them to hydraulic after not being impressed! Are Cantilever brakes that bad?

Thanks in advance

And show me pictures of either of the above bikes if you own them please

Just got a 2013 Vapour on sale from 18Bikes, I thought the cable discs would not be great after hydraulics on the MTB, however I've been very surprised and the BB7's are fantastic.
I will never ride a CX bike with Cantis again, just can't be dealing with rims being ground away!
Overall a very nice package
