    Hi ..I'm looking to buy a road bike for in around the €1200 mark.
    I bought a surly long haul trucker 3 years which has seen Me lose 4 stone,commute 40km most days ,spend 3 weeks cycling across France and many a sunday morning in the Wicklow mountains..but have decided I need a new cycling direction and challenge..I'm planing to do the Wicklow 200 this year along with a few other sportives.
    So just wondering on any recommendations??
    Cheers

    A fine bike.

    The Planetx sl pro carbon with Campagnolo Veloce is around that money as well.

    good value in the Cubes - 1200 will get you a carbon and more places stock them as opposed to the one place for planet x

    But lower spec for the money is the down side.
