What bikes should be on my consideration purchase list?

Cycling is Forever

Well? for up to a £1000 on C2W scheme

What bikes should I definitely check out and put on my list of possible bikes.

Newbie to road but looking for something that is able to commute [10 miles/day] during the week and then out on the weekends [fast & light].

Preference Campagnolo

Your suggestions please

Mister W

Are you restricted on where you can get the bike from?

Woul be tempted by this personally, i think you'll find though that a lot of people will suggest test riding as bike fit is important, there will soon be others along who are much more knowledgable no doubt......................

The new Bianchis are gorgeuos. I've got a 2008 Bianchi C2C with Campagnolo Mirage stuff and I adore it. I'd recommend a Bianchi to anyone in a flash - but those Ribbles are nice bikes too

Mines all aluminium but even so it's really comfy. I tested one of the ones with the carbon seatstays and I couldn't really feel a difference - you probably would over a longer ride.

The handling is great (not that I have anything to compare it to...), but it feels extremely safe, while still being fantastic fun.

As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan.

They are a bit pricier this year - and Centaur is the 'one up' from Veloce, so that's worth bearing in mind.

C2W via Halfords, but I be going through a local Bike Hut. The chap running it is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Halfords/bike hut can order nearly anything.

the Bianchi Nirone 7 Veloce seems to be a hot contender after the frame I place a wheels as the next important thing.
How good are the wheels on the Bianchi Nirone 7 Veloce?


Keep the suggestions coming
