Guys,

Looking for some help - got a chance of the above bike - but have a few questions. I'm new to road biking after catching the bug using the wifes tourer and loving it. Only done like 15 - 20 mile rides and can see myself only doing around 50 - 60 max per day. Would the Boardman Road Comp Bike 2014 be a good choice for me? I possibly could get it for 400...

I would just like some reassurance as to what to look for when buying the bike second hand etc as it's quite a new thing since I usually buy new.

My work also operate within the c2w framework - would you recommend purchasing through that instead of second hand?

Thanks
----

    Bite their hand off. Just check the sizing

    If you can get it on C2W you'll probably pay slightly more after Tax and Vat are taken off but it wont be a lot. So it's whether you personally don't mind paying a little more for a brand new bike or paying less for a second hand one!
