Been looking for an affordable road bike for a while. The One I'm watching on evil-bay carrera velour has been advertised before and his add says its advertised else where! should I stay clear are they rubbish got about £250 to spend. don't want to pay a lot just incase I don't get away with a road bike :smile:
 
I've never had one so I cant say 100% but I beleive as long you stay away from the Hellfrauds Apollo mtb bike the rest of their bikes are good value for money. I googled it and it brought up a Bikeradar review, which seems positive at first glance.

Would avoid the Carrera Velour. Bit of a '70s bike that one with rather itchy seats and pretensions of style-free retirement.

On the other hand the Carrera Valour appears to be a very good bike for the price. But it is a cheap price - not £600!

No, they aren't rubbish. Your choice as to whether or not it's good value for money at that price, he says it's only been ridden once, and is a bit of a fantasist over what he paid for it, but that probably included a load of accessories he's forgotten about! It looks mint, and is worth every penny of the £360 price from new. You're getting what he says is a brand spanker for a ton less...... not much of a decision if you trust the description.
