Hi all

I'm looking at buying a road bike for the first time as an alternative to my mtb. After lots of mooching around on the web I came across what seems like a good compromise as an all year bike the Pro lite Inverno from J E James.

http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/pro-lite ... 45396.html

i would appreciate any informed feedback from you guys on this frame, was considering speccing it with Campagnolo Veloce groupset and Campagnolo Scirocco wheels.

As i have said my knowledge of roadbikes is very limited so help would be appreciated.

Cheers

    I haven't ridden one, so can't comment on it, but I'm looking at that frame as a winter trainer for later this year.

    Other frames like that in a similar price range would be the Ambrosio Guido, Tifosi CK7, Kinesis Racelight Tk, and probably a few others. All are 'all rounders' in that they will take guards if needs be...

    Excuse the ignorance but whats the difference between a training frame and a normal frame?

    I see the "winter" definition as these have lugs for guards and racks

    I've got a 60cm one for sale that I've used for 2 months if that's any good to you! I do like it by the way, and it does ride well! I've also ridden a Tifosi CK7C, and the paint job is better on the Pro-Lite. I got it cheap from the shop I work for, but haven't really got the space to keep it. I'm looking for £150 ovno.
