  1. Hi,

    I have up to £600 to spend on a new road bike and need some
    advice on what to actually buy,

    Initial choices are Trek 1000, Cannondale R500 or maybe
    Guess RB1.

    I have not seen any reviews of these bikes so any advice
    would be appreciated.

    Cheers Tim

    Also consider a Giant OCR1.

    Not many for Cannondales but quite a few on the Trek. Bear
    in mind it's a US site and the specs may vary from UK bikes.

    At that price the Cannondale will have most of the money
    spent on the frame. If you want to upgrade later it's a good
    bet, otherwise the other bikes should have better
    components.

    It's always the way with Cannondales unless you spend
    shedloads of money. But the frames are very good indeed.
