After some advice as i'm new to this bike lark;
Possibly viewing a Claud Butler Roubaix tomorrow that has hardly been used (~400 miles apparently).
It seems to be the correct size and will take my wish of mudguards according to the spec list i found on Evans (below).
As far as i can tell from the pictures etc it's a 2007 model so will be the following spec;
Frame: Alloy 6061 700c road frame with aero down tube and semi integrated headtube includes carrier and mudguard capability -
Forks: 12K weave carbon fibre with mudguard eyes and clearance -
Gears: Shimano 16 speed STI system -
Shifters: Shimano SORA -
Chainset: RPM CRD double chainset with silver alloy cranks 39/53 tooth chainrings -
Brakes: Alloy dual pivot long reach design with quick release cam system - Wheels: Anodised black double wall narrow profile rims with machined side wall equipped with alloy 32 hole quick release hubs -
Tyres: Kenda K-177 30 tpi 700 x 23c sport -
Handlebars: Alloy 26.0mm drop bar - Stem: Alloy 7 degree rise stem
Seems a good enough spec for a first road bike to use as a commuter?
