Right, i used to ride MTb, but haven't road anything in Ages. Like a year or two.
I've been thinking about Road and i want to try it, and hopefully start to compete in it once i finnaly get up to speed etc

Now i'm looking for a bike £200-£300, obviously lesser = better
I'm 5'7"
I've been looking in the classifieds here, and i've seen this
http://www.bikeradar.com/road/forums/vi ... highlight=
Bearing in mind i know aboslutly nothing about Road bikes, is that a good one to start on?
Or if not, point me in the right direction please

Thanks alot for the help, i'm sure the question has been asked 80million times before.

Looks good for the money - have a look at http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/review/rev ... /7/v/1/sp/ for a couple of user reviews. The frame seems a bit small, but the seller says s/he's about your size and it fits, so...
The rest of the components sound fine - nothing flashy, but fine...

Thanks for the reply. Be fine for a beginner then eh?
Looks like i may buy it then.

You may want to look at the classifieds at the back of Cycling weekly....usually some good second hand deals to be had.
