i want to buy a cheap road cycle to go to and from work on.?
i have one in mind but its out of my catalogue. would this be any good? spec is below.
Boss “Corsa” road cycle
£239.00
Features 14 gears and a lightweight road bike frame. 700c tyres give slick road performance with little drag.
Lightweight alloy road bike frame. 14 speed Shimano gears. Ahead handlebar stem. Narrow section tyres and alloy rims
It’s difficult to tell really because the details they give are a little sparse. One thing against it is the size, 30-36″, no normal manufacturer would have a “one size fits all” like that.
In the same price range are the Dawes Giro 200
http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/14403/Dawes_Giro_200_Bike_2008
and the Giro 300
http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/14404/Dawes_Giro_300_Bike_2008
which are fairly solid bikes.
If it is for commuting to work and back there are probably better options available. You want something with rack mountings at the back for carrying luggage and although racing tyres are great for speed they are not so good for comfort, a 32 or 37mm tyre would be better. It’s a bit more costly but this actually looks a pretty good bike for the price
