I am looking to buy a new bike, and I would like some advice.
I cycle to work everyday and I also do a lot of cycling at the weekend. I'm pretty much just cycling on fairly well maintained roads, but there are a few bumpier country lanes occasionally too. So I am looking for a bike that is light enough to be easy to whizz to work on, but capable enough to handle a couple of rougher roads every now and then. I'm a short, fairly small woman (5'3", 55kg or so).
I live very near Bristol (UK), so I have plenty of good bike shops to choose from. My absolute maximum amount I can spend is £700, but really I would much prefer under £600, and cheaper would be good too!
Thanks in advance for your help.
