Hi all! I've long had a love of cycling and had a Carrera Velos for a while but it got stolen, and then I had a chest injury so had to take some time out.
I bought a Claud Butler Echelon at the back end of last year and it does me fine for 40-50 mile rides but I'm looking to upgrade to something a bit nippier, lighter and generally better as I'm keen to do a few sportives!
I've got £700 to spend and I have a friend who is selling a Giant Contend SL 2019, he's never used it due to his own injury problems and he's said he'll take £700 for it, I just wondered if someone more experienced could please advise me whether I should take him up on the offer or whether there is something better out there for the budget?
Any advice hugely appreciated! Thank you
