I've heard a lot of good things about the hybrid Boardman bikes, although they are probably a tad out of your price range starting about 500ish.

Did you have anything in mind specifically?

The Trek 7.1FX has had good reviews from cycle plus.

It is a urban hybrid but should be lighter than your bike.

I have a 7.2 on order for £400, the 7.1 is listed at £350 but you may pick one up for under £300 in the sales.

Good luck on your hunt.

If you are happy with a second hand bike, EBAY often has some cracking bargains.
Know what size you need,
know what you are looking for, and ask for extra, more detailed photos if you are unclear of anything.

£300 could go a long way on Ebay

Depending on where you live, there may be lots in your local area, and you'll be able to view.
If you live in the a&se end of nowhere, you'll have to rely on the internet.

A friend recently bought a six month old Boardman Team Carbon (£999.99 new) for £450 on Ebay - you could hardly tell it had been ridden.

My Latest Route: Nov 2009 Forth Estuary Circular

Hi for £350 you could try the Carerra TDF or Virtuoso Road bikes they look good! I ve had a Carerra Hybrid and its been one of the best buys ever! Worth checking them out!

I bought the Boardman Team Road 2011 just 3 months ago and so far its been very good!!
If you can push your budget up slightly the Boardman range starts about £500.

Wow dudley that s a good deal on ebay, a Team Carbon new at £999, going for £450 and only 6 months old!! (Bargain!)

Good luck in finding a nice road bike!

Echo the sentiments above re: the Carrera TDF. I bought a TDF SE from Halfords about 6 years ago - they were only 200 pounds then! I've just had it serviced again and it's fantastic. Get good speed (albeit it's not the fastest bike you can get) - the only problem is the tyres I had haven't always lasted. Good ride tho and great value for money.

If you can't afford a good new one the principle being always buy the best you can afford, then buy a good used one, I have bough two bikes from ebay that have serv ed me well for years and saved pounds. You are more likely to use a good bike than a rubbish one.

Hi,

I have a suggestion for you to search out at Amazon.com for Schwinn Discover. This may fit as your demand.
