Second (first really) road bike?

Rodebrecht

Okay, so I've been cycling for around 3 years, and I've had a road bike for 2 of those years. It's a really crap road bike, and is from a supermarket I believe (it was a gift... or a burden, you decide).

Anyway, I'm looking to buy a new proper bike. I'll be looking at entry level price bikes..

My budget is 500-600, although I've saw a few which are around 450 which look enticing.

The bikes I have looked at are the B'TWIN Triban 5, the Revolution Sabre, Revolution Continental, Boardman Road Sport 2014 and the Felt Z95 (which was on sale, but not in my size)

I need a 60cm frame.

Any advice ?

Even if it's no specific bike, I'm looking for good places to buy a bike from.

Thank you.

How tall are you? 6'5"?

How long is the virtual top tube length on your current bike?
Does your current bike fit you?

I'm 6'3 and my inside leg is 92cm.

I don't know how long it is just now but it doesn't fit me. It's too small.

I would be going with the Triban if you can get by the brand snobbery thing good bike and spec highly rated.

Yeah the triban is a good choice but they don't have my size so I'm not sure I can go down that route.

Vitus Razor VR is worth a look at that sort of money. Carbon fork and Shimano Groupo
