edited September 2013 in Road buying advice
got a choice of three bikes to choose from.. got around £500 max to spend.

Found the following:

2012/13 Boardman Race Road Bike

2009 Specialized Allez Elite

2013 Trek 1.2 Compact


The bike will be used primarily for commuting and a 30 mile ride over the weekend. This is to be my 2nd road bike having had a claud butler san remo. What would you recommend?

    I'd find it hard to pick out of those so go by looks and fit (fit primarily obviously)

    Specialized sold so out of the question.

    Viewing the boardman tonight. It's a large frame and I'm 5'9" so fingers crossed it fits.

    Trek slightly more at closer to £600 but it's literally brand new.

    Ah decisions....

    It won't.

    I am 5'11" and I am a medium frame.

    bugger. if that bike is out then it's down to the Trek and a Felt F95. Unless something else comes up on ebay soon, I may be buying new!

    Agree.
    I'm 5'8" and have medium, it's too big but workable; a large would be out of the question.
