Entry Road Bike

Hi,
I am after an entry level road bike for my 14 year old son, don;t want to spend too much as he is a teenager and may not like it after a couple of rides. Any one got any experience with the below bikes at all ?
Whistle Modoc - been offered one for £150 and they said they paid £750 for it (I cant believe that) and is nearly new.
Carrera Zelos from Halfords
Any other for £200-£250 at all
I have looked through eBay and some people want a lot of money for bikes that have not been looked after at all, it is quite shocking.
Cheers,
Ian

    FWIW I've found Gumtree to be a much better source for this type of bike.

    At least then you're just communicating directly with the seller and you don't get involved in a bidding war.

    The prices that some stuff go for on Ebay are absolutely crazy.
