400 quid approx road bike

Currently looking at the Giant Defy bikes anything else to consider at this rough price?

Defy 3.5 has carbon fork I think.

Some of the Carreras at halfords aren't bad for that sort of money. The defys are nice though.
Second hand ftw

Felt looks good deal... they also have size 60 and 63 unless my eyes decieve...

Problem is though, I cant go to the shop and try it for size.. Im roughly 6ft4 I think.. would need to measure myselft and guess size and reach

Giant can easily go to a LBS and try

I'm 6'4" and ride a 62cm Spesh, if that helps. If not used to a road bike, I'd go for 60cm. My CX bike is 58cm.

True, gawd knows what I was thinking when I posted. I'm 6'2" - 34" leg and ride a 60cm Spesh road bike if it's any help.

On of [url= http://www.parkersofbolton.co.uk/p-2057-viking-roma-road-race-bike.aspx ]these[/url] ??

A budget brand maybe but a guy I ride with had one last week and it looked really nice in that kind of "On-one Pompino blue"....the grip tape looked a bit thin but apart from that nothing to complain about.
