hi I'm Anthony hoping for some advice on what to look for when buying a budget road bike

Hi and Anthony.

Questions about budget road bikes get asked a lot and the Triban series bikes from Decathlon have a really big fan base on here. What kind of budget do you have in mind?

Hello. Welcome to the forum

Hi Anthony. Welcome.

I agree with @Rickshaw Phil but I'd also through in the Carrera Virtuoso from Halfords.

Hi and welcome! This is a good time of year to buy a regular sort of bike as there are sales on. Try the search function (top right of the page) to see what other threads there might be in recent times. I'm not a roadie myself so can't recommend anything!

Hi,
I have a budget of around 200 to 250 pounds

Hello and welcome to CycleChat

Keep saving, there's a lot of good words about the Tribian series of bikes, a lot of bike for not too much money.

If you can stretch that slightly the Carrera TDF limited edition is currently down to £269. Otherwise you might need to look at second hand to get a decent spec.
