I have recently started to get in the cycling and I have be using a old road racing bike from my grandparents shed but has you might guess it is old and not that good really for hill climbs. I was wondering if any one had any good recommendation for me, i have read a few magazine such has cycling plus but i think your views would be more helpful has you would have used the bike for longer. Thanks very much in advance |

I've done a few thousand miles on mine, and it rocks. better still, if it applies to you, get it on the government 'bike to work' scheme through your employer, and offset the tax, do you get it cheaper. |
