Good topic i was thinking the same. Ive seen the Yellow Carrera one in Halfrauds for £199 but not sure if its any good or not. I guess you have been watching the tour on tv as well

I had a carrera virtuoso a few years back, it was a good bike for the money but a bit heavy though.

At that budget to get anything half decent I'd go to ebay and buy a good used bike.

btt Any experiences of a Dawes giro 300 or Raleigh Airlite 200??As they seem cheap enough for what I need. Thanks.

Perhaps not the most fashionable but good kit for the money.

Around 6months ago, i bagged a decathlon bargain Sport 7.2 for £130 they have a big sale on at the moment too
For the money the spec is awesome, Sora shifters are around £80 alone IIRC only plan is really some carbon forks and a decent chainring/cranks/bb setup, these are the only heavy steel bits. Other than that It does me for 100miles a week, and a 41.6 Mph top speed

in the usual SN manner......If you could stretch your budget slightly?

Your gonna really struggle to get a decent road bike for around the £250 mark brand new, it'll be a cheap **** far east special with a heavy steel frame and sh1te components.

Ebays gonna be your best bet but even then second hand bikes of decent quality end up going for £400+
