What bike around £500
Hello
I am in the market for a new bike and as a relative beginner I'm looking for some advice. I am currently the owner of a Specialized Allez Triple. It is being replaced soon. My initial thought was to get a 2008 Allez as I had no problems with the first one. However - I realised I should put a bit more thought into this rather than just getting the same again.
With this in mind I would appreciate some advice on what I should look for in choosing a new bike. I have around £500 to spend. I'm six foot and use my bike for both commuting and also some longer distance jaunts at the weekends in the region of 60 - 80 miles with a couple of longer (upto 130 miles) trips a year.
I am not a competitive cyclist and not particularly experieced. So should I stay with the good old Specialized or look at something like a Trek or Bianchi??
Thank you for reading this
