About a month ago I decided to use a cheap hybrid bike with thick wheels and go on a cycle ride. Since that day I've been absolutely hooked using the same bike. I've been averaging around 150 miles a week and my rides are becoming longer and longer. Just recently completed 70 miles which I was fairly proud off. Especially doing it on the cheap hybrid which weighs a "ton". The problem is the bike is firstly too small (I am 183cm) for me really and that amount of biking I'm doing can't me good for my back with a bike too small. Also its impossible to keep the speed up. Thirdly I joined a Cycling group where everyone has road bike. I wasted alot of energy just trying to keep up with them. My budget is around £200-£300. Now I've heard this time and time again that for that amount of money I'm going to a get a "Pile of ****" according to some people. I need a road bike now and my budget is fixed. I'd appreciate if anyone could link me to a bike for my price range that would last me a good couple of months and is good quality for the price. Thanks in advance
