Aluminium racing/road bike just got stolen. Please help with suggestions for replacement.

[martian]

Hi all. My beloved aluminium racing bike was just stolen. It was pretty lightweight and was a joy to both commute to work in, and go for long rides in the countryside. I bought the bikes ages ago secondhand and have no idea how to begin replacing it.

So, I'd definitely appreciate any suggestions on where to begin. I can't spend a fortune (i.e. nothing over £1000 - and ideally not even close to that figure), but would like a replacement that isn't low-quality and won't fall to bits if I go on long trips.

Any thoughts on good bikes I could get to replace it would be highly appreciated. Many thanks.

I can recommend you look at the Cannondale CAAD10. Your budget would get you a 105 model. All Terrain Cycles are advertising 48 & 56cm frame sizes for £945. RRP is £1300. Check it out;

For commuting I'd buy a reliable used clunker unless you have secure storage at work, then buy a decent roadie for long rides.
