You're welcome, chap!
Another one to consider is the Boardman bike from (spit) Halfords; £500 gets a decent spec. road bike. I have read that, unless you know your bikes, it's best get your bike shop to check over the build.

Mine is a 17" which fits my 5'10" perfectly, so I reckon 19" minimum for you.

Not necessarily. I'm 6' and for years bought 18.5"/19" frames - always suffered aches after long rides. About 6 months ago I borrowed a friends 17" Carbon Giant - the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden and now own it. In theory its too small, but with the correct stem length, seat position and fork rack etc it makes long rides enjoyable again.

I'd recommend going to a reputable bike shop and px'g it - any 'decent' shop will do a good deal

The Government made the Cycle To Work scheme less attractive last year - see here for one of many articles on such; you'd save more buying a 2010 model from a cycle shop.

this is why i kind of mentioned "salary sacrifice", i wasnt held to the maximum amount of £1000, and my company is too small to bother with the cycle2work paperwork, in theory i could buy a hot tub under the same heading.............if i could convince IR it is beneficial to the company!!!

2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Galway Green

I have a Specialised Rockhopper (MTB) but I started to do a lot of road miles so I also bought a Specialized Sirius 'hybrid' and it really is so much easier to ride. Even with road wheels/tyres on the MTB it's still hard work on the road. You should be able to get a decent price for the MTB on eBay. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award
