OK, what’s the best road bike under £400.
I have looked at Claud Butler’s Roubaix at £359, Saracen’s Morzine at £386, Trek 1000 at £349 and Fausto Coppi’s Torino at £359.
They all seem to share the same basic components, the Coppi is the designer label with snob value, and is a great bike, shame about the colour scheme.
I thought Claud Butler was a great make until I noticed no one ever mentions them on this site or any other come to mention it, and all the write ups I have seen give their range of road bikes grilling.
Saracen is rarely mentioned, although their bikes do receive good write-ups and look pretty cool.
Trek, I know as an American icon, however are their budget bikes any good for me.
The last point I should mention is that I am 6 foot tall and weigh 16 stone (absolutely not fat, honest) so I need a bike that can take some punishment as I do around 150 miles a week.
So if you have one of these bikes, or are in the know, please give me the benefit of your knowledge and put in a reply.

PS. It’s got to look good, don’t want to spoil my image?
