For the resident cycling experts...
I need a new bike. Been riding a hybrid for the last few years but thinking of getting a road bike as I'm fed up of being overtaken on the morning commute & I want to go quicker. There are some fitness issues here too but wtf.
I also do quite a bit of riding for fun at weekends doing about 50 - 100 miles on a Saturday.
Quite tempted on one of these:
I'll be doing quite a bit of mileage on bumpy country lanes & apparently this style frame is perfect for soaking up the bumps, according to the salesman. My only reservation is with the lifespan of the graphite frame. I've heard that cracks can develop after a relatively short period of time.
Anyone got any recommendations? Don't want to spend more than £1.5k. TIA.
