First road bike advice. Orbea Avant H70 2015 any good?

Jimod91

Hi,

I'm looking to buy my first road bike and I'm after a bit of advice.

I'm looking at around £400. I'll be using it for cycling to work a few times a week (around 12 miles round trip) and weekend cycling in the Yorkshire countryside.

I've come across the Orbea Avant H70 which with my limited knowledge looks a good bike for the price. It's currently £349 down from £599. http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/Orbea-Avant-H70-Road-Bike-2015 I can't find many reviews so was wondering what people think?

Other bikes I'm considering are the btwin triban 500 se https://www.decathlon.co.uk/triban-500-se-road-bike-black-id_8306187.html

I would also look at the Btwin range, great bikes for the money.

Under £400 for this bike, good first, second or third bike.
