Hey, my names Andrew, i'm new to this forum but have been looking to get into cycling for a while now and looking to do a London to Paris and back cycle next summer. I'm 5"8, 20 years old, and quite fit (if I say so myself! :P).
Anyway, the reason i'm posting is I need help with buying my first road bike (which will also be the bike I use for the Paris ride). I am a student so have little money to spend! Ideally under £300. So whats the best value road bike I can buy for this money? I have found a few good looking ones such as
1)http://www.amazon.co.uk/Viking-Tre-Valle-Gents-Road-Speed/dp/B007OTE8SA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
2)http://www.rutlandcycling.com/42827/Coyote-Ronin-Gent-s-Road-Racing-Bike.html
3)http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId_888023_langId_-1_categoryId_165710#tab2
4)http://www.decathlon.co.uk/triban-3-id_8167038.html#anchor_ComponentProductTechnicalInformation
But my knowledge on bikes is very limited so need some advice from people who know what they're talking about (other than those unhelpful people at Halfords!) Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you !!
