Hi all,
just a quick introduction , i am new to the world of road bikes after many years on cross country mountain bikes,
i have been using a family members Trek Alpha which i am enjoying and now want to purchase my own road bike.
Looking for some advice i will be using this for alot of things group rides, solo training to keep fit and building the miles up as i wish to compete in races over the coming months.
I am also doing the london triathlon so will be looking to use it for that.
I am looking to spend between £750-£1000 and looking for the best bike for my funds.
I have gone to a local cycling shop and know what size frame i need but to be completely honest been a novice to the road side of things the guy went into so much technically detail he just confused me even more.
any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rhodri
