    I bought a specialized cyclocross bike just before Christmas, but now wish I'd bought an out and out road bike!

    Adrian, what is it that upsets you with the X bike. I love mine to bits and use it for everything. I'm half way through the South Lakes "lane quest" series every Tuesday night and I just grin all the time that I'm out on the IslaBike, despite lots of new-fangled 'unobtanium fibre' projectiles going past at warp-factor 'x'

    Just not really that impressed with the gearing, I seem to be able to out pedal (not sure if this is the right term) the bike going down the slightest of hills when I'm out on it.

    I've not much experience of bikes, but I'm sure that I shouldn't be able to out pedal it so easy?

    Just wondering if it's worth all the hassle or is best getting a new bike?

    What's the cost for getting one and getting it fitted?

    Sorry I know very little about bikes.

    Re: Wanted: Road Bike

    take it to your local bike shop for an estimate, its a fairly easy job to change it but always good to give the bike shop some work.

    it would be cheaper than changing bikes.
    if your thinking of getting a road bike you need to have a budget in mind
    whats you thinking of £
