by the way,
i'm getting back into road cycling after a break for three-ish years. I used to do touring, but have recently got more into the racing aspect of it. i have been using one of dads old tourers (31 pounds, ouch!) to train on, but am getting a racer for my bday. I've basically decided on a Bianchi Nirone (2005) at £555, are there any better bikes to be had at the same price range? Thanks, and sorry its off the point!
