Not looking for anything special here, just after after a geared aluminium bike to replace my Specialized Allez after it finally bit the dust. After a full bike that is in rideable condition, as I want to get back to cycling my commute asap. I have a budget of up to £300, but would prefer to do it a little cheaper than that if possible.
Cheers

Size wise around 53 - 56

What's wrong with the Allez? You know they have a lifetime warranty on frames/framesets?

It's not overly an issue with the frame, it's more to do with complete lack of maintenance taking its toll. Really haven't looked after properly as it's always been a bit too small, and I just think it's time to get a bike that fits me properly, that I'll look after.

Yeah 53-56 is a wide range. Find your size and don't be tempted by anything else.

Allez is still great. I'd just get yourself another one of those, keep an eye out for 2016 model year stuff going reduced as the 2017 ones come out.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
