Hey guys,
My gym membership is almost running out and to be honest to myself, i have barely attend the place (once a month?!) so i thought i'll better invest the money else where.. and possibly save on the rising petrol.

I am looking for a road bicycle with max budget of 1500 (including gears)

Thinking of riding everyday to and from uni (roughly 30km each way) but definitely weekend riding.

I have just been researching for bikes in my budget and i have found a few:
Scott Speedster S40
Giant OCR2
Trek 1200

Now my question is, I am such a noob, i don't know any of the spec they say on the sheets, so i can't really decided which one is a "better" value..i know the seating of the bike is more important, but i also just like to know the general spec.

what are people's opinion on such? any other bike i should be looking at?


Any input would be good! Thanks
