I'm about to get a geared road bike as I'm getting into longer rides, which will start with a 340km ride through France which will probably be too much for me on my fixed gear.
I have the option to get the cycle scheme through work, but I can only buy a bike at Evans. I'd like to spend as little as possible, but have resigned to the fact that I need to spend a bit to get something decent. I've been eyeing the Fuji Roubaix Pro 2009 ( http://www.evanscycles.com/products/fuji/roubaix-pro-2009-road-bike-ec018087 ) Due to it's Ultegra and 105 components, but at £824 but was hoping to spend less, around £150-200 less.
I'm splitting hairs a bit as £200 extra before tax over a year is £notmuch but can anyone recommend any other bikes from evans around that price point? I'd rather have better components than a carbon frame...
