Firstly, yes I know this is an MTB site but I'm sure there's plenty of people of here who, like me, want a relaitively cheap road bike for instant, from the door, two wheel fun.

Basically I am after a sub £1000 road bike, in terms of pure value for money both of these look ace, but one has a 'better' frame and the other has the better groupset.

Your thoughts please. Also, I'm not adverse to any other recommendations.

Thanks for any feedback,
James

Really pleased with my Cayo, nice frame.

Although Culebro does have a good groupset, I think if you wanted to upgrade bits and make it lighter I'd go for the Cayo.

Got mine down to 16.4lbs

I'd also check out PlanetX and Ribble 🙂

Sram Rival would point me to the Culebro or Boardman. Ribble Sportive would be in with a look-in though.

Go for the better frame, you can always upgrade components at a later date.
