From: 6 miles inland from the coast of Sussex, in the South East of England

Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

For £1000 you can score a Giant TCR2 and several other bikes aswell. If you want a tourer though you will need eyelets for the rack and mudgaurds- so may have to go down to a Giant Defy.

Plenty of bikes out there but take it you want a road bike. But Hilly Area?-How hilly- how long are they and how steep? Cyclocross May be the answer if the roads are a bit broken and the Giant TCX2 at around £800 may suit.

I know I have mentioned Giant but all manufacturers will have similar- Including ORBEA that is in your part of Europe and one of my dream bikes.
