    Hey sorry this is another which bike to get post…

    Currently i ride a scott speedster s20, All 105 with a set of ultegra wheels. Ive ridden it for about 5 years now and it has been a brilliant bike. I ride mostly sportives but i do want to have a go at racing this year.

    My budget is around £1500 but i can squeeze a bit more if needed. I have been looking at a planet x pro carbon. But i am open to suggestions. Ideally i would like a carbon bike with ultegra, but i will drop back to 105 for the right bike.
    If it helps I am currenty180lbs and i ride roughly around 120 miles a week…

    Thanks

    I’d look second hand. You could get something top end for your budget, I reckon.

    There is a bewildering choice, with a number of new brands launched in the last few years. I wouldn’t suggest any one model is ‘best’, they’re all excellent.

    These might help to begin with:
    http://road.cc/content/buyers-guide/70802-best-£1000-£1500-road-bikes
    http://road.cc/show/review-section/road-bikes/35
    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cycle/road-bikes/

    Online outfits like Ribble and Planet X have great offers but IMHO if you’re not sure of what you want you should visit some shops to draw up a shortlist or eliminate models that don’t really feel/look right.
