Hi all
I'm new to road bikes and have set myself a budget of between £500 & £600 for a bike on c2w scheme
I've been searching the internet and round the bike shops and have confused the hell out of myself as I know nothing about bikes.
What I've seen so far are Giant Defy 4, Raleigh Revinio 1 2014 and the boardman sport 2014-
In terms of appearance I like the Raleigh and the boardman , but can anyone offer any guidance if the above are ok or any alternatives.
I know these are entry bikes, but I would like to go this route to see if I get the bug then maybe upgrade

There's a specialised allez,the giant defy you mentioned ,a triban 3/5 from decathlon ,you could try and get a 2013 model that was higher spec but now reduced to within your budget

You might wanna have a look at the cannondale synapse, with the claris group set. It's about 650, but worth every penny.
