My father's after a road bike - he's had a Specialized something-or-other hybrid for a few years but wants something quicker and more sporty - also his mates go on a lightweight road tour in Europe every summer and he wants to join them. I think he'll be better off with something that can handle the odd bike path and bridlepath too.
He's looking at an Allez but I think it's a bit racy - any recommendations for a practical roadie around the 500 quid mark? 28c tyres ideal.
I have seen this, but I think he might be after something a bit quicker and probably more modern-looking.
