Ok, here's where people get to have fun. I have trashed my Dawes Hybrid in spectacular fashion and the repairs will cost me £250 for parts alone (eh, no. Take a hike there LBS).
So, in the market for a new steed.
I fancied a Triban 3 (white or red, the extra weight wasn't an issue really) but Decathlon tell me they are out of stock for the next 6 months (!).
I am hoping to move to a road bike of similar value, up to about £500. I commute 20 miles a day on a flat route, and when i was on my previous ride I had tri-bars fitted to get down and pedal hard. Being that I am new to the world of road bikes i'd be keen to get some advice about what constitutes good value and what other people are riding.
