Hi Everyone,

I have recently received a cycle to work voucher for £1000 to spend at halfords, but i'm stuck on what road bike to get.
Obviously I first looked at the boardman's which I was very impressed with, although I was a bit annoyed the full carbon has gone up by nearly £300 over the bike to work threshold. :(
After speaking to Halfords head office they gave me a list of brands that they can source.
The bikes I have looked at which i'm interested in are:

Boardman Road team 2011
Felt Z85 2011
Cinelli Experience Veloce 2011
Orbea Aqua T105 2011

What do you think is the better bike? Please note I am new to road bikes.

Appreciate any help and advice you can give, (or other bikes you may recommend). :)

    I have actually now decided on the felt z85 2011. Do you think I have made a good decision? Like the boardman it has shimano 105 groupset carbon forks and seatpost and mavic wheels. I just wanted to be different to everyone else on the halfords scheme.. Plus I feel the felt looks better.
