I wouldn't need one for racing. Was more looking at the Ribble Gran Fondo. It's about same price as the Giant bike I posted.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

I have both those ribble bikes for a few years now with no issues.  It comes 99% assembled so don't let that putting you off buying one.
God bless the hills of Dooish, be they heather-clad or lea,

I've had both bikes as well, as I said the R872 is definitely racier, but if you've no issues with a bad back it would be an easy choice imo - because the R872 is just a much better bike.

Eddie Dunbar is having some year of it, some of the big boys will be taking note.

He had some cycle on stage 8 and having a great season so far compared to the end of 2017.  I can't see aqua blue being about in a few years as tgey dont have the money and depend on wild card invites to grand tours to survive.

The hole shitstorm is a bit of a case of reaping what you sew as David Lappartient the UCI Chief allegedly facilitated the leak.

In the market for a ladies bike, helping a first timer get started on the road. Has anyone got any recommendations, looking for a good deal!

specialized dolce are good entry level bikes. Look for the one with tiagra components. Other makes and models of ladies bikes are cube axial and trek lexa. Have a hunt for 2nd hand you might get a bargain that way.

Was out for spin last night and it's hard enough cycling in that heat but when the tar on country roads are melting and your tyres are sticking to the tar/road it's just that we bit harder. U wonder how the professionals do it in that heat all the time.

Do you mean a road bike or just any bike for the road?

This is a very good deal for a women's road bike  GBP750., Eur900 in ROI.
