    Hi,

    This is my first post here and I am basically looking for some help and advice on my first ever road bike. After doing a few cycles on a cheap hybrid I purchased ive decided id like a road bike, my budget is around £600 but I can possibly push a bit more if absolutely necessary.

    I know pretty much nil about road bikes so any advice would be appreciated, I am also 5ft 7 and need some info about size as im sure this makes a huge difference.

    Cheers

    Connor

    lots of people on here might not like buying a bike from Halfords but the Boardman bikes offer fantastic value in that price range. Failing that the ones in Decathlon always get good reviews as well.

    advice is usually buy the best frame you can afford and then you can upgrade components as you go along.

    good luck, buying your first road bike is very exciting!

    p.s. if you are buying clipless pedals then I suggest using SPDs first, they are not for the road purists but easier to work with to start off.
