    This Merlin would some in at about €775 (with the current exchange rate) after you freely sign up to their site's VIP membership. I don't know what it's like but the components on it are very good for the price. If you'd be willing to stretch you budget slightly further to €899 + P&P you could go for this Canyon. For opinions on it use the search function for this forum and it'll throw up plenty of them.

    I have the Z100 also, surprisingly comfy as it's my first road bike and does exactly what it says on the tin.

    Happy with my purchase after looking at all the other usual suspects such as Specialized, Giant, Trek etc.

    The only other one I seriously considered was Canyon but I wanted to go to someone I trusted because it's my first road bike and I trusted the shop to set me up properly.
