    To be fair it takes a while to get your head around what to watch out for.

    I'd suggest a trip to Belfast for a Triban 3 from Decathlon (www.decathlon.co.uk) or some people here rate some of the higher range Carrera's.

    Another alternative if you're Dublin based is to get an old Steel framed road bike from Rothar or square wheel which will give you an idea of geometry, comfort, handling, riding technique et as well as making you feel like superman when you get a new bike with all mod cons later.
