    Well,

    they are very different bike so you need to have a good idea what you are going to do with the bike?

    Will you be commuting? if so how far each way?

    do you see youself doing long distances? 60 miles?

    Do you have any targets for your cycling

    Hey mate

    if i were you i'd go for a bike with drops if there isnt too much traffic and the roads are reasonable quality

    Then there baordman bikes are ruddy good value for money...

    With the Halfords scheme, you are not limited to what they stock, they can order in pretty much any bike you want. Some you can order through the store, others you have to go through their cycle to work office, so if you see something you like that they don't normally stock, don't be put off.

    dug out a couple of links that might be of interest
