Been looking around this week for 1st road bike looking to get back into cycling.
Thought about getting a cheep ok bike then update later but felt better to pay a bit more get something thats worth upgrading and i can really enjoy and be happy with.
Went and had a look at Planet X RT-80 guy in the shop really helpful got to try it out and got measured up. Felt fine. Next day went to order it price up'd over £200.
Found CANNONDALE Synapse Carbon Tiagra 2018 on offer so yesterday went to have a look. The shop was bad had no clue about stock i had to prove they sold to at all. Anyway got to try it well sort of did.
Had a rethink and looked at something a bit cheeper but still be happy with.
Though planet x have pissed me off a bit the guy was helpful and liked feel of the bikes.
So with a cheeper budget meaning i have a bit left for other things i like the look of RT-58 V2
Question is are they any good or are better ones about?

Basically , if you're buying new, you can't go wrong.
Synapse is highly rated.
For a first bike buy
1) the one that fits
2) the one you like the most so that it makes you want to ride it.
What's your budget?0 -
Well can go to 800 or bit more if its right and worth it.
Synapse did not feel right some how not sure why0 -

Planet X prices are up and down all the time. I'd check back on it in a week or two.0
