new

to work and cycle back.
It's a 17 mile ride which I am currently doing on a cheap Raleigh mountain bike, it does have the advantage of a suspension giving a little comfort on the poor roads but it feels quite heavy and sluggish when I get up any speed or have to stop and start at traffic lights.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good entry level road bike or can tell me the advantages of a road bike over a mountain bike and what I should be looking at when buying one?

So I have just returned from around a year off the bike due to serious injury and I find myself with a reasonable level of fitness, I want to get good again.
1) I need new cleats, shoes, the works, what would make a good pair for around £100? Best shoes? Best pedals?
2) Any advice on buying rollers? Do people prefer turbos? Are there good makes to look out for?
Thanks!

Hello,

I'm selling a couple of framesets I have in my arsenal of bikes.

Both are 56cm frames.

One is a Trek Cronus CX frameset. It was ridden a couple of times only. Looks thoroughly new. I've replaced it with a 2013 model.

It looks like this: http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/2011/archive/cronuscx

I'm asking £800 for this one, and I will include whatever bearing kit you need for the cranks you'd like to use. It has Trek's BB90 bottom bracket, so you don't need traditional bearing cups.

I am looking to buy a new bike. I intend, probably being a bit optimistic here, up to £2500. I already have a 20 + year old Brian Rourke 531 frame road bike [it is a tourer really] and a 20 + year old Specialized mountain bike. I prefer the road to the off road. I am cycling to get fit and I hope to cycle to work occasionally [not on the new bike yet though] with a train journey as well. Not sure if now is the time to get the new bike or wait until the spring/summer. I want to have everything included for the £2500 not just frame.

Dilemma - I have a Cannondale R600, used for a year or then got the Orange to commute, I want to get into sportives, do I keep the Cannondale & swop the wheels (Gipiemme T-Tre 30 S) or sell it & get a new bike on the cycle to work scheme, i am thinking Boardman / Planet x / Dolan? Suggestions appreciated

As a cyclist for 50yrs-would like to know what started the younger cyclist of today,whatever type of cycling is involved.
