FAO WrathMamils - Bicycle advice required
I'm looking to purchase a (half-decent-ish) road bike - I suppose something a little bit more than entry level.
It will be for long events such as Norwich 100, general long distance training and triathlon. I have a trusty hybrid for standard commuting and general pootling.
Any recommendations? Budget around ?500-?600, may be coerced into parting with more if it is worth it. Are there any good bike shops around Norwich that won't mug me off. Also will need a large frame (58cm according to my calculations) - don't know if this affects things?
Many thanks in advance.
