Hi I would like some help please I am going to buy a bike and need some help in what to choose.I am a a regular cyclist who spends a lot of time on Irish country roads so pot holes and gravel etc. would have to be factored in I also live in a very hilly area, I would be using the bike for recreational cycling but will be taking part in the odd adventure race (all road cycling).
I am totally lost with all the bike lingo.
Thanks

If you have €600 to spend then I would recommend to check various seller sites for second hand bikes. Or even your local LBS. You would get a far better bike second hand than you would new for €600.
