Now I’m not looking for something special, just something light and fast and capable of doing the speeds I want to reach 50mph + and also capable of simply going the miles I want.

Although I’m pretty sure on what I’m looking for I’m just slightly concerned about the weight, in-respect to what weight I should be looking for. The one in the URL is around 10KG and I’m about 70KG.

Obviously I’m not looking to spend much more that £750 to the one in the link is ideal, but just need other peoples opinions, especially when taking on long distances.
