Hey guys,
i'm going to be buying my first road bike soon but i'm starting to feel way out of my comfort zone!
I'll have around £1000 to spend, either through the work C2W scheme or just straight cash depending on offers etc.
I'm 6ft and ~34/34.5 inner leg so would more then probably suit a large frame..
I like the look of these two, although not seen them to ride (probably won't have an opportunity either really!)

and Ribble

the independents i've been to just want to sell me what they want to flog rather then what i'd like...
after a good quality bike that is a pretty good all-rounder that can travel distance but has a good turn of speed..
Based around Cheltenham so does any close have any experience of bike shops in the area?
Thanks, Pete.
