Morning folks

A mate is after his first road bike - budget £1k.
Must be interest-free - if it's a reduced/sale bike even better 😉
Any killer deals/bikes to be had?

Cheers

Interest free credit card, you'll find plenty of shops won't want to do deals while they're doing finance, costs them.

This is looking like a contender...seems a great bike for the dough...does anyone know how Felts size up?
He's the same height (6') as me and my Cube is a 58...

That Felt is a nice looking bike.

The pic has a 105 chainset but the spec says FSA Omega though, sadly. Still a good bet for £600 though.

You've probably seen the threads about the new Ribble Sportive carbon with new 11sp 105 for £900? Also a good bet if you're confident you can sort him out with the right size.

I'd get one of the Hoy Sa Calobra's. Nice alloy frame and a 105 groupset at 1k
