Advantages: Good re-introduction to road bikes Disadvantages: expense and pedals
...with narrowish tyres and straight handlebars or a drop handle bar proper road bike, with tyres so thin I could up up stuck in a drain grating.
The Trek 1.2 Double won the day after a very generous discount from the dealer.
The list price is £499 and I can't tell you publicly how good the reduction was! - but it was amazing - thanks Dave and Chris.
3 The Vital Details
If you look on the Trek site you will get the technical details of the bike among their glittering 2008 productions.
Some of the spec details would be meaningless to you - as some are still to me.
But the details that affected my choice and my experience include the following.
The Double is not a reference to the drink needed before venturing out on to the public highway, but to the double gear wheel on the front of the chainset, which results in doubling the back 8 gears...

Advantages: Light, nice ride, good brakes Disadvantages: Chain should have shield,brakes bit squeeky,only availible from halfords
...I brought this as my last bike, a saracen, died on me, it was really in a terrible mess! I brought this for £400 in Halfords, which is a pretty good deal for what you get. The technician was very helpful in there, otherwise I probably would have brought a bike from a Local Bike Store.
So, what do you get for your £400 here? Well, a light and strong bike, with hyrdaulics, 24 gears, thick tyres, nice wheels with strong spokes.

All in all, a good bike for you money. So far, been so good...
