Well i am looking for my first road bike,currently i could i buy a cube agree pro with full ultegra and easton vista sl wheels thats about 8.2kg,i would get a pair of look keo sprints and a tripcomputer with the bike for only £600.So is this a good deal?
The other option is a Gir's with a mix of record/red/dura-ace and a full carbon frame but for a little bit more expensive £1100 without and pedals.
So do you think i should put a little bit more money into it or buy a cheaper bike first,i am only 15 and dont have much money to put on a bike.

    The Cube sounds a good deal and given that it is £500 cheaper use the savings to kit yourself out with any necessary equipment.

    the cube would be a better offer when i still have to buy shoes,shorts,shirts and a helmet.And does the weight really matter that much?1kg more or less cant be a big difference at this stage.

    And at 15 you'll still be growing so you'll need to upsize in a couple of years, maybe less
    You've no won the Big Cup since 1902!

    Don't bet on it. Not usual for men to keep growing in to their twenties.
