I've recently caught the cycling bug and have started to do a few commutes on my old mtb (25mile round trip). I'm now looking for my 1st road bike. Have about £500-600 to spend but this is savings so want to make the right choice! My local independent shop have a range of Merida bikes and I have been shown around the ride 90 (rrp £600). Can anyone recommend this make and/or in particular this model? Possible alternative is the Raleigh revenio I, same rrp at a different independent. Don't really want to go to halfords or evans as heard their build quality is poor? Thanks for any advice. Ben
