You might have to add a bit to your budget
To get something half decent..

Try this site www.mcloughlinsgardenmachines.ie/mens-bicycles
I have the Castello Stelvio. Ideal starter bike if your not intending on spending much.

My advice would be buy a cheap bike to start out with then if you don't use it you haven't spent much. If on the other hand you get heavily into cycling you could keep the first bike as a hack and buy a good bike without having to worry about trade ins etc.
For instance I bought a Carrera TDF yesterday for e200, I will use it as my winter trainer, my commuter, spins with the kids etc. I have a Trek Madone for spins with the club, sportives etc.
I of course did it the expensive way ie I started with a mid level Aluminium bike followed by a mid level Carbon bike followed by the bling bling expensive carbon bike, all in less than 2 years and wasting nearly €1000.
I am not saying I didn't enjoy every bike, and I don't regret it but if money is a high priority then consider your options. Best of luck with the purchase.

I'd agree with the previous post. Get a fairly cheap one and if you get big into cycling then buy another one and keep the cheap one for your turbo trainer or for cycling to work. I sold my cheap one second hand and regret it. You might get better value with a second hand one on DoneDeal or one of those sites.

This is on adverts at the minuts and the seller said he'd accept 280, i reckon thats a good deal for that bike.

Thanks for the great advice . I am looking on donedeal etc. for a cheap bike and see how things go from there.

Don't buy something super cheap with crap kit on it, that scott for 280 is about as good as you're going to get for less than 450ish second hand.

Thanks Seaneh for advice. I am in the process of buying the Scott Speedster.
