    Hello All,

    My Girlfriend is looking to get a new racing bike for around about the £1,000 mark. She does the occassional road race / criterium and sportive.

    Any suggestions on what she should get? I suggested getting something second hand but she wants a brand new shiny one!

    But for all, carbon Boardmans team carbon fi 2010/11 is a bargain.

    I could not be happier with the Planet X SL Pro I picked up about 6 months ago – they were doing a mix of SRAM red/rival for £999. A heavier rider in my club had a few problems with a flexible front end, but it feels stiff enough to me. I think they have a store in London now too.

    The cannondale synapse 105
    The cannondale synapse 105 was reviewed well in cycling active earlier in the year

    I’ve been looking at mens bikes at a similar price point.
