Alternative to BSA Photon EX bicycle in about 4-5k

[funkysourav]

I am riding a BA Photon EX Bicycle for the last four years,
Its a great Hybrid/Urban bicycle which picks up speeds without much effort.
Now after 4 years of use, the bike is showing signs of wear and tear as I average around 10 Kms a day.

Is there any alternative to BSA Photon within 4-5k price range?

How about BSA Mach 22"?

Whoa!
just checked it out, Thanks Din!

but like all other forums they'd keep recommending bikes well above 15k

Same thought as mine few years back I totally understand your requirements, but there is a reason why they suggest like that. If you are pretty serious about cycling, go for it. Ah, re-reading your post, I see 'last four years'!! Then you SHOULD get a great bike Regarding Mach - It is a VFM bike. Another option is Neo, but close to 10 or so. ACT 110 is also a nice one. Not sure whether they still sell it. Navigator hybrid from La SOVEREIGN - Close to 10K again. Next best option is to get a used but good bike, Cyclop is the resource - *www.facebook.com/groups/CYCLOPBUYSELL/
