I'm looking at getting back on the road after a years enforced break and am looking to get a new bike.
I've been riding a hybrid for the past 15 years or so but want to move onto a proper road bike.
I've made a short list and would like people's opinions on them and maybe suggestions that are similar to those I've looked at.
The bikes are the Pinnacle Laterite 3, the Giant Contend 2 and the Boardman Road Comp.
I had initially written off Halfords but I get the impression that the Boardman bikes are quite good but that Halfords service can be variable.
Are these good starter bikes? I'm more interested in endurance than outright speed.
Thoughts? Opinions?
All input gratefully received.
