Swapping to road bike for commuting

[cyberknight]

Can i get some views on this bike (i can get alot cheaper than this site) http://claudbutler.co.uk/product/torino-sr2/ thanks for any replys

For the price i can see at halfords of £329.99 , less BC discount of 10 % it would be a decent buy
Cant see on the piccie has it got mounts for mudgaurds ? , and are you going for a rack/ seatpost rack or backpack ?

That doesn't look a bad bike, but for the price you can do much, much, much better.

How far is your commute and what kind of roads?

Theyre both similar quality bikes id say. Decent enough but at the lower end. If you have narrowed it down to those two, the bigger question is hybrid or road
