Viking Omnium 1.0 Gents 700C STI 14 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle 53cm Frame 56cm

Great entry level road bike; I bought it to replace my old mountain bike as most of my routes are uphill now, and for the price, you really can't complain. Easy setup and adjustments (Allen key friendly), I've had it for about 3 weeks and all I've replaced are the inner tubes (because blackthorn is brutal) and gave the brakes a little tightening yesterday as they felt a bit loose. For less than £200 I can't really fault anything, it's nice and light, and 14 speed is enough gear to deal with hills. I ride it to work which is about 13 miles each way a few times a week, and bar the blackthorn puncture it holds up nicely. The lower gears can be a little sticky sometimes but a bit of WD40 every week does the job. Takes the unforgiving Cornish roads and hills well, if you want a decent value budget road bike I recommend it. Buy a mudguard.

Good entry level bike

Great value for money. You may still want to buy a mudguard, if really needed. Other than that it's sturdy, comfortable and can go fast, which is all I need from a good bike.
