ROAD BIKE : APPROXIMATE £500 BUDGET

[Garz]

Hehe, wont take that long tigger! Keep it up!

The only issue with a boardman is their sizing. The largest frame I seem to be able to find is only 58cm.

I'm actually looking for a similarly priced bike (willing to extend to £700 for right bike)

My LBS stocks Giant and Orbea bikes, I cant seem to find much about them online, another LBS nearby stocks specialized, and I'd be confident in liking the Allez since my latest bike (Rockhopper) made me fall in love with cycling!

Hi, I have just bought a specialized allez 16 2010 for £499-99. Very happy with it and feels really good to ride. Nice fast entry lever road bike

I managed to get a 2008 Scott Speedster S40 for £500 from my local shop and I'm dead chuffed with it. Its a triple which I'm glad of as its pretty hilly where I live, but I think the double/triple thing is your choice really.

Hope thats helps!

just seen this which seems pretty good(i was thinking for myself), but only in one size i think

Hi

PS I've tried to look for a photo of my carlton bike, without success. If anybody can assist, I would be grateful. basically a racing green colour, with a white band and orange hoops on the seat tube.

Hi wbmkk (catchy tag!) and welcome!

Don't know if you'll find it in amongst this lot...

Thanks swee'pea99

Tag, my initials & wife's too (well until she married me, she's a KM now, but I've always called her KK.

Her actual name is unpronounceable . Look here www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3qHOtHoYk

Looked at the photos. and my bike isn't there

I tried several times in the past, but without luck. the bike was new in 1970. Thanks anyway

Bike thing on hold now, as I have just been made redundant. As I had a company car too, the Raleigh Equipe is on the go again, at least for the time being.

Regards !
