Hi,

I am new to cycling and looking to buy my first road bike for use in training and a few triathlons. I am looking to use the Cycle Scheme through work to get better value for money and have seen both the Fuji and the BH above for under £500 as they are last year’s models.

Has anyone got any experience of either bike or have an opinion on them, as there aren’t many review for them online?

I’m 5’10” so looking at a medium/54 in both bikes – is this about right?

Thanks!

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of buying second hand really. Keen on the Cyclescheme and the opportunity to pay monthly – any thoughts on the two I’ve mentioned or a better value brand new option?

Going to throw a spanner in

Going to throw a spanner in the works and suggest also considering eBay for second hand Giants.

 

eg. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Giant-Defy-1-Road-Bike-Medium-Size-Frame-/191917781524?hash=item2caf30f214:g:lTkAAOSwwo1Xf-Fs

 

Can get a nice bike with 105 for around this sort of outlay, though it rules out Cyclescheme. Bet if you offered that guy £380 he’d take it.
