I have been reading reviews etc over the last few months about various road bikes but I'm still unsure as to the type of bike that I want. I was hooked on buying a carbon bike (my budget is around £1500) but I know that it may get damaged easily. However, the feel of the carbon bike ride may make it worth the risk. I have been looking at Giant TCR Advanced or Trek Madone 5.2.
On the other hand, the new alloy bikes are also pretty good (eg CorractecRT Corones) and are less likely to be irreversibly damaged in day to day falls and injuries.
I would be grateful for any advice from experienced cyclists.
