what sort of "racing" do you want to do? road, track, time trials?

Thats a very good piont. i want road bike. more to get fit and enter a phew rides . ie london to brighton next year.

fixed or geared? I may have completely misunderstood the OP but asking about road bikes on a fixed gear/single speed forum might not get you the range of answers you're looking for, despite the amount of roadies on here ;-)

If you happen to be about 5'9 tall or thereabouts I'm planning on selling one of these, size medium and only 9 months old. It's one of the bikes that bikeradar will recommend as a starter geared bike.

Is it? I don't know, how much would a road bike with these components fetch? If it's silly money then I might change my asking price!

Yeah, I was wondering too? Where are the "Use fucking search you stupid noob!"s?

This forum is scary.

I must confess my first post was something similar, and the quality has never really improved.

Actually not sure if that is a confession as its probably obvious to anyone on here.
