Hi,
Im very new to cycling and have only used a Road bike once when I cycled 100 miles for Action Medical Research. Im doing variouse cyles to raise money for charity, im not into anything compepative. Im cycling 220 miles in july for Barnardos and also cycling from Cleethorpes to the west coast of Ireland for the RNLI at some point in the summer.
Because of all these events I need a good road bike to see me through. But im a stundent a very low budget. I wondered if all you experts out there could tell me what you though about these two bikes im looking at.
This one is the first

The guy is offering £175 for the bike as its for charity but I think I may be able to get it lower. Its 4 years old and done roughly 150 miles and it has been in stroage for two of the four years. What do you think? is it worth £175?
This one is more expensive bought for £999 and never used. The guy is going no lower than £600 but I am paying no more than £585.
