Hi Guys this is my first post and just like to say hi. Im getting a new road bike to replace my old one, i have about £500 to spend i have trawled the net and the best thing i seem to be able to find is the giant scr ltd that retails for £650 and is on sale for £473.99 :

That is the cheapest i can find it. Spec wise it looks very nice, is there any other bikes i should be looking at for good value? Thanks for any advice received.

    The Giant OCR is okay. You might also find you can get a Spezialised Allez Elite for that price nowadays, or a Sunn Radius or Decathlon R 9.2, all about the same value for money.
    Of more recent bikes of at least that quality, you might be able to get (for similar price, if on offer) a Carver Distaco 600, or a Poison Cyanit Xn.

    Hi!

    I paid £599 for an Allez Sport Triple, a £130 reduction, from my LBS

    Pop down your local and see what deals are around

    Due to this lovely summer we are having i'd be more tempted to go for this:

    £80 cheaper so you can spend more on new kit and it comes with mudguards!
