Hi All
recent convert to the wonder of 2 wheels! Signed up for a C2W bike last October, and have since clocked up around 2000km on my commute - saving lodas of cash and getting healthy.
My commuter bike is a Specialized Sirrus which has served me well, a good solid bit of kit. However in all this new-found excitement, I've now signed up for a London - Paris charity ride, which will take 3 days, averaging around 80 miles per day.
I'm told a road bike would serve me much better for this - however, just loking around and I am baffled by the choice. My budget is around £600 - just wondered if anyone had any recommendations?
(iI am a tall, skinny fella, around 6"5' if that info makes any difference)
cheers!
Sid
