So whats the best bike i can get?Hmmm...heaps of bikes:
- Specialized Tarmac Comp
- Giant TCR C3
- Cannondale CAAD 9 (105)
- Cannondale Synapse
..........

That price will get you something very nice. If you're going to be racing, good wheels will be important. Go to your LBS, have a chat to them, do some more research...then enjoy the test rides!

Thank you very much for your advice have been looking at the LOOK for a while, quite impressed. Any other advice about bikes?

Any other advice about bikes?The best advice I can give you is, get all the input you can from experienced riders, do all the research that you can...but in the end, this is your decision. Take all advice on board, educate yourself...then make the call.

Evans Cycles have the 06 Trek Madone 5.2 discounted to just under £ 1,500. I can't think of a better bike for the money (IMHO).
