Cube, Specialized or Lapierre

[Cerysdad]

My cycle to work scheme loc has eventually arrived. My first and second choices for a bike are not available in my size currently:

Cube Attain sl disc (Disc brakes) £1,199

Specialized Allez Elite £1049 (Bike Radars bike of the year)

The Lapierre Sensium 500 2019 is available now but I can find out very little about it. The first 2 "might" be available by September. Wondering if anyone knows much about the Lapierre.

Was this a stupid question or is it just that no-one has an opinion?

Other than FDJ ride this brand as team bikes I know nothing of these bikes. I would not be surprised if most on here didn't even know that. Perhaps try the Bike Radar forum?

Thanks whoof.

I got useful replies on the road cc forum.

I’d go with the Specialized. They are highly regarded and good value for money, IMO, but then I’m a rim brake kind of bloke.

Mrs Syd has a Lapierre Sensium from 2013 and its still her favourite bike.

Thanks for the advice. The Lapierre is sold out anyway. There's another hitch with the loc ... over 3 weeks now and was definitely due on Monday... seems never-ending. Absolutely sorted by today apparently. I won't hold my breath.
