Hi, I realise this has probably been covered to death but i'm on the look out for a road bike on the C2W scheme, so upto £1000 to spend.
I am a relative noob as i've only been cycling about 2 months on my Crosstrail Comp, but my wife has taken a fancy to it aswell & i'm finding i'm doing most of my rides on the road anyway...hence fancying a road bike & letting the other half use the Crosstrail when she fancies.
I would ideally like the Shimano 105 groupset....& i'm a bit of a short arse at 5'7" with a 29" inside leg so not sure if some bikes are more suited for taller or shorter riders at all ???
The only one i fancy at the moment is a Trek 2.1 as my LBS stock Trek & Spesh.
I will use it for my commute & for longer weekend rides...even the odd Sportive (if i ever get to that level)
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Cheers
