    Hey all,

    I'm looking to get a road bike so that I can start cycling more. I was wondering if you could offer any advice on what sort of bikes I should be looking at. My price range would be around 700 or so and i'm 6'5.

    get an alluminium road bike like a Trek or Specialized, should be around 800 euro, go to local bike dealer & get measured(fitted) correctly. (You will need saddle bag, spare tube, levers, speedometer) If its going well invest in new pedals & cycling shoes. If you use this bike then move an to a carbon bike...best of luck
