Although if buying online, and assuming I was confident on sizing, I'd get this. Tiagra, hoods much less chunky and ugly than Sora

Or if you want to stretch your budget for 11 speed 105

Well people thank you all for your input and suggestions on this really appreciate it. Did check ashcycles and there would have been an extra delivery charge to northern ireland on top of the bike so with a budget of 650 I had to work with that.
Well I went to a local bike shop I had been told not to go to because of being overly expensive.
Well guess what . I just bought this little bueat. Paid a few quid more than I would have online but at least it's local if there's any problems . Tho don't pick it up until Saturday and can't wait . Giant contend 1

Did they not let you take it out? Enjoy your new bike
