    There are a couple of things to think of. If you feel totally clueless, you can go to a local shop and get one there. You'll get the right fit and have somebody to go back to with problems. If you're a bit less clueless (and it only needs to be a bit less) you can go online and buy one there. You'll get a better bike and spec for the same money but lose out on the local man to go back to.

    If you'd like to try online, Planet X and Focus (from Wiggle.co.uk) are among the better (probably more current Planet-X fans on here though).

    If you've got 1k to spend too, that fits well into the cycle to work scheme - just in case you haven't thought of that yet.

    I don't personally know of any unfortunately, but there are others here that have a more special bond with their credit card than me. The 'Should have left the credit card at home' thread might have some examples, though it could be a bit of a trawl....
