    This is the cycling adverts sub-forum, you might have had a better reaction if you had posted in the main cycling forum here.

    Looking at the spec I would say its a decent entry level road bike, nothing special but nothing particularly wrong with it either.

    I personally think it's a very nice looking bike.

    Padded shorts are a must, along with a jersey that has pockets in the back to carry a banana and a peanut butter sandwich! :cool:

    And don't be getting snotty with us or you'll get no more advice!! :p

    Possibly, possibly not. Do you have a link to the spec sheet of the merida?

    hey, im in the same boat as you, i was looking at a specialized allez today 750e, reviews are pretty good too. I was also looking at a giant defy 2 899e. I think im going to go for the giant though. Gona get a bit of advice off for lads in work tomorrow and make up my mind then.

    doubt it. you tend to get what you pay for. but without any further info besides "the halfords bike for 370", which I personally couldn't be arsed trying to find, you won't get much advice

    You were originally looking/interested in a bike at €750, why are you now considering a bike half that price? Anyway for the price that Carrera seems pretty decent. If it suits your needs then go for it. Remember to allow another few hundred for helmet, clothing, rain gear, etc etc
