Hi - I'm Tim, completely new to this forum.
I am a reletivly inexperienced cyclist planning with 4 workmates to take on the Lands End to John O'Groats ride over 14 days in summer on behalf of Barnsley Hospice.
We have been training on MTBs so far (transpennine routes mainly) and are looking to get road bikes that will be suitable for the trip.
Unfortunatly the budget is around the £300-400 mark (there are four of us looking to buy). We thankfully won't be carrying much weight as we'll be sleeping in an RV driven by a friend, which will be carrying everything we need.
One shop (Woodrups, Leeds) has recommended the Giant SCR4, which looks good, but I'm not sure if they offered that becuase it was in stock...
Would anyone please be able to offer any advice/recommendations/help?
