hi there
this is my first post.....
can anybody help
for 3 days now I have been tearing me hair out on what road bike to get
im changing over from mtb to the road(an sick of getting injured issue lol )

started to look at the b,twin 500 as the write up is awesome,then set my heights a little higher as back mountain biking I bought a fairly cheap bike the 1 month later bought a more expensive un
so im tring to get something in the middle range

ive narrowed it down to a mint second hand scott 20 speedster £580

a new sensa romagna £599(on special offer at merlin)

or the beone alpe d,huzes £599 (also on special at merln) although only 50cm size left not sure if to small?

im 5,9 12 stone,and live on the Yorkshire wolds(so quite hilly)

thanks for your help jason

Giant Defy 3. Good starter bike with decent spec

Can't fault it. I have an earlier model. Great bike to get into road cycling. Go for Medium

I always reccomend the Cannondale caad 8. Lightweight,stiff,a cracking first road bike.
