Starting out, need a new bike.

Friend of mine is getting into road biking, he wants something which is good for hilly rides,needs to be comfy for his iffy back as well, going out once or twice a week and has about £850 to spend on one.
I said to have a look at Bianci and Zcannondales, anyone else have a idea?

Needs something light ish with a relaxed geometry. Suggest Specialized Secteur, Cannondale Synapse or Cube Peloton
