Sub £700 road bike

Now you've got me thinking.... that's a great deal...

What time of year do the models start getting discounted?

No specific time, but this time is ok for roadbikes

Thanks mate, I'm preparing myself for a wait...

My claim took over 4 years...but recovery was complicated

I was hit a few years ago on a really cheap Viking Fixie (IIRC £195). When the driver discovered, 'it was a really expensive bike' they baulked at it and went through their insurance that did take a few more weeks but I think the insurance company were happy to 'snap my hand off' and quickly settle, even though I inflated it slightly. Another time I was hit on a more expensive bike however, and it did take a while. I hope you are sorted soon

When i got knocked off I got the lbs to do me a detailed quote and I emailed it to the claims department of the driver and it was paid out asap

What about this one just under £550 give you some left to upgrade later if you need. looks a good buy thinking of one at the moment.

Another interesting find... there are some great bargains to be found if you know where to look!

Decathlon’s RC520 or Triban 540 are the go to choice at this price point.

Both great bikes with a lifetime warranty on frame and forks.
