I have a Cannondale MTB which i ride off road with(nothing to heavy), and im now looking at buying a road bike to ride to work and evenings/weekends etc, im not sure if i should get a Hybrid or a racer.

With a budget or around a £1k can anybody recommend anything.

Thx

    Giant Defy 1 - Great reviews - comes with my personal recommendation as i've had one since January http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-giant-defy-1-12-45849

    others that i considered:

    Cannondale Caad 8 tiagra
    Boardman Road Team Alloy - nice kit
    Rose Pro-2200? - good spec
    Ribble bikes - Any of their frames can be spec'd to £1000 -> some nice carbon frames
    Canyon Roadlite
    Planet X Pro carbon Rival
    Specialized Allez Elite
    BMC Streetracer SR01
    Bianchi Via Nirone -a very pretty bike

    these are all pretty well spec'd and generally get good reviews -> you should have enough to investigate with that list!
