First road bike

[Thomson]

Thank you. I know there's only so much you can tell from pictures off ones. I see a few popular makes such as gaint. Cube and Boardmans on the road. Will have to find a decent shop. I went into my local halfords and they had no Boardmans.

If you fancy a Giant, I doubt you'll do better than this for £500(ish)

As above, go try them out and ignore reviewers. What did they say about the Boardman

If you like a particular bike, post a picture of it

If i remember rightly a bit harsh but good wheels for the price , although knowing C+ reviewers who are used to being cossetted by multi thousand pound tech i am not to convinced..Just about to cancel my sub as i have had enough of articles for sedentary office workers where a cheap wheelset starts at £400
