Hi everyone.
Ok so i actually read through the "buying guide" on here but I wanted to ask your guys opinion because you seem to have a lot of knowledge
So anyway, my story is that I used to love cycling when I was 15 and used to do it frequently. That was about 6/7 years ago and now i've got the urge to cycle again. I want to do it to get into shape and just possibly explore around, maybe doing a tour once i get back up to speed.
I looked at my old bike and i've grown out of it. I thought hal***s would be a good place and it was the only place i knew to get a bike. Apparently not after reading on this forum.
I thought of getting a road bike and saw this one its a Carrera Virtuoso £325 with discount promotion

but i also had a look at a: Specialized Allez 16 2010 Road Bike £430

Both have good reviews but all reading the specs is like jargon to me :S
Is it worth the extra £105? I've never had a road bike. Or should i be considering a hybrid? As i haven't cycled for a while.
