I've got a Carrera Vanquish Road bike . I've had it several years and I've had no problems with it. I ride a lot on tow paths around the Lea Valley Park area and the paths can be quite rough. The Carrera handles it with no problems but the frame and forks are very rigid and unforgiving and you feel every lump and bump. On a long ride it gets very tiring on the arms and shoulders and getting on to tarmac roads is a great relief.
I've been considering getting another road bike around the £500 range with a more forgiving frame and I quite like the Giant road bikes. Reviews say that they offer more comfort on demanding surfaces.
