My work is now part of the Halfords cycle2work scheme so I am looking to buy a road bike with it and basically I don't know much about roadies so looking for what people reccomend? It has to be under a £1000 as the halfords scheme won't let you overspend.
So far looking at the Giant Defy 1 - http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/giant-defy-1-14 and Defy 2 -http://www.edinburghbicycle.com/products/giant-defy-2-14 the cheaper one still seems good and will give me some room to play with for helmet, shoes, etc.
The Rose Pro SL 2000 - http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/products/bikes/road/road-bikes/pro-sl/ I really like the look of this, but unsure if it will be available on the scheme.
The Boardman Team Carbon - http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/road-bikes/boardman-road-team-carbon-bike-2014 - seems to offer great value and good reviews, but it is bloody ugly and just can't see myself riding it!!
Also, has anyone ysed the C2W scheme? Had any problems with it?
Cheers.
