Yes i know this is a MTB forum but the roadie sites are poo.
My old man is after a new road bike for £500 to £600. he rides most weekends so needs something that can take lots of miles. Any ideas?
Up the budget. Does he ride Campag or Shimano.
Do you really need to up the budget, road bikes are pretty simple aint they?
My mate bought a Ridgeback or Genesis thing for a bit less than that (£475 I think). It is a bit of a tourer with load of sora on it and weighs a bit. But it rides well fast and it fairly comfy.
Cycling plus had some reviews of budget bikes this month although I think they may have been at the bottom of your budget. A Carrera bike from Halfords won by a mile.
Not that I would normally condone cheap bikes, if you have the money get something uber bling, I might get a Lynskey Helix 🙂
Get something 2nd hand with little use - probably get a nice frame and 105 groupset from one of the big manufacturers.
