    If you can stretch a further
    If you can stretch a further fifty quid the B’Twin Alur 700 has a Shimano 105 groupset and Tiagra cassette. They can be difficult to source at the minute though.

    Bike sales are just around the corner (if they haven’t already started). You should be able to find some good deals. Personally, I’d go for the Giant or Cannondale…great bikes. Good luck!
