Just for fun - what road bike would you buy if your budget was £500 ?

Cheers,
Shaun :biggrin:
 
I'd have still bought my 2nd hand custom jobbie for £400, saved myself £100 and laugh at all those who bought inferior brand new ones for twice the price or more as I sail past them with ease.

I think I would go for the used bike option too!

Not really in the spirit of things though, is it, so if I had to buy new, it would depend on where the bike was going to be used.

If it was for my Pennine rides, I'd want my usual wide range of gears so it would be something like this Felt from Wiggle.

For a flatter area, I'd go for a singlespeed bike and I'd be tempted to build one up myself. I could make something really nice for £500.

I would probably plump for the Decathlon BeTwin Triban 5 @ £499.
A well specced bike for the price.
