What Bike Question

[anonymous-user]

Needs a bike for a commute around 14 miles a day on country roads. Will be used at weekends for 'Leisure rides'. Needs to be good quality and reliable. I Like Cluad Butler Frames.. looking to spend around 300 - 500 quidos..

Any ideas/suggestions

I know very little about road bikes, but I would suggest popping into your local WH Smiths to check out the road bike magazines.

You should be able to pick up an older model (2007/8) for much less, just because the coulour scheme has changed. The components will very likely be the same as this years.

I got my Cannondale half price in 2000 because it was a 1999 model.

There are a few threads that i've been following in the PP forum about commuter bikes. Check out the last couple of pages.
