Looking to spend £400-600? First road bike. Any good deals out there?

The other half got a cube peloton from CRC for 599, Tenner off with Quidco too. Pretty nice bike.

Try Pauls cycles too.

Interested in this too. I’m currently looking for a first road bike for my girlfriend. Current favourite is this:

Felt F85

Merlin have got some good deals on at the moment. Something like this:

Alu frame, carbon forks with tiagra 2×10 groupset for £499

Secondhand? Far better VFM than 2nd hand MTB’s as in general stuff doesn’t break or wear out. Pick out some new £1200 bikes you like, then set up saved searches on ebay for them 2nd hand.

Get a 2013 second hand Defy 1 for about £500-600.

For example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-Giant-Defy-1-medium-/171133058803?

Crikey, that Malt looks like really good value. 11 speed, full Tiagra, even the wheelset doesn’t look too bad (1700g). Thanks all, anymore?

I’d be very impressed if it was Tiagra 11-speed.

Does look very good though.

Decathlon?

Whoops, 10 speed right enough. Thanks.
