I have someone looking to buy a first decent road bike. It must be from Evans. He has a max spend of £1200. He weighs 18/19 stone. Does that rule out carbon? Just stick to steel? Any particular recommendations?
Edit also hoping to get shimano 105
Caad12 - at a push.
But given his natual descending ability I'd look to the Big S and their no questions asked warranty policy.
^^ this. At 18st, a good saddle will be a must too (but isn't it anyway?).
@Howard, @mdcc_tester
Thanks
