Hi there, I used to cycle alot as a kid and a few years back I bought a Raleigh Mountain Bike from Halfords for £99 to try and get back into cycling, the bike was only a 17" frame and the guy there said that alot of people ride 17" bikes, now i'm not sure whether he was just trying to get a sale, but after getting on the bike and riding it properly I soon found it was way too small for me, I felt like I was riding a kids bike and reaching down for the handlebars was uncomfortable.
I went on 1 journey on it, was in excruciating pain for the next few days and really didn't enjoy the experience. I later sold it...
Part of the reason I got it was to get fit again, I'm overweight and really want to start doing something with my life rather than sitting around all day.
Anyway, point is I am looking into getting a road bike now for my birthday. As a kid I always had a Mountain Bike but looking back, we spent most of our time cycling on roads... Mountain Bikes were just the "in" thing I guess.
I have around £300 to spend and would appreciate some suggestions as to what road bikes to check out.
