Hi ive just got back into cycling in an attempt to get fit and i love it. my problem is im using my hardtial and ride exclusively on the road. as my employer has just started the cycle2work scheme i thought id get a road bike. there seems to be a lot of choice in my 1k budget but the standouts do far are.
Giant defy 1 i live in hertfordshire and there is a giant dealer nearby which is helpful.
Khs flite 500 ak2 as it seemdls a great spec for the money but online only?
And finally the cube peloton again good spec for the money
Ive been to the Giant dealer nearby and they had no Defies in my size, but stated the new model would be out soon but was unable to tell me when/prices or any details which is concering as my scheme only runs till Sept.
which would be recomended for my first bike? Thanks for any help

For your first bike ignore the spec. You need to try the bikes and get whichever jumps out at you as best for you.
Get something from a local bike shop, if they don't have/can't get one in your size to try/purchase then go somewhere else.0
