Road bike wanted in exchange for near new Specialised Sirrus Commuter Bike

Ahh right, understood, right i may try that, see how it feels, but the urge for a road bike was there before i bought this, and its even stronger now, shouldnt have been so hasty.

thanks mate

Also that looks a bit to advanced a bike for me, what would you recommend as a starter, im doing about 13 miles a day at mo (comfortable starting point for me), but i live in Peak District so going uphill is a cert round every corner, so i want some light and not to expensive
thanks

The TRIBAN 3 from Decathlon is gaining popularity. They are apparently well put together and offer excellent VFM. This and the Carrera TDF are two bikes that are almost universally recommended for a starting point.

Might be worth sticking your Sirrus in the CLASSIFIEDS section on here. The Sirrus is a well regarded bike so I can't imagine it being too difficult to move on.

PS: if you do out on here don't asvertise it elsewhere as well, it's not permitted in the RULES

managed to sell my bike not swap it, but for the money i've bought a C Boardman single gear Comp bike, is that a good bike, any one know.

You may have a problem Scott...have you brought a single speed ? Arent you in the Peak District ? Hope you're fit cos youve effectively only got one gear. The bike's fine, but maybe not for your area.

Thats the way...they say there's nothing like a fixed / SS for building strength
There's a short but sharp stab of a hill near me (thats as good as it gets round here) and i remember seeing a guy romp up it on a SS....bloody hell, i'm down to 39/23 to get up it.
