Hello people.

Mountain-biker/folding bike commuter here looking to get into road riding.
Looking at a Wilier Escape Mirage 09, but I really don't know the first thing about road bikes.

Can anyone say if this is a good starter, or possibly recommend something better around the same budget?

Much appreciated,
RB

    I think your choice is fine but, have a look at Bianchi 1885 Alu Hydro-Carbon Veloce Bike (2008) it has a carbon alu frame whereas the Willier has a full alu frame. Both have the same price.

    Bought one recently - haven't had a chance to take it for a good ride yet, but am happy with the limited use so far.
