Hi , I'm 42 years old and have decided to purchase a road bike to get fit and lose a bit of weight.
I'm looking to order this bike , I don't really want to spend any more than this as a beginner.
Anyway here's a link to the bike I'm looking at buying , would it be ok ?

    Yes, an excellent choice. Just make sure you get the right size for you.

    Got one last month, very happy with it. There's a few bikes on Wiggle around the same price - Battaglin/Moser - but I think this is the pick of them. I'm using the wheels/tyres and saddle from a previous bike, but the stock parts on the Z95 are fine. I did change the Sunrace 11-32 cassette after one ride. I found it shifted very poorly. The SRAM 11-28 one I bought from Chain Reaction is much better.
