Hi,
I'm looking to purchase my first road bike. Luckily living in Ireland, we have a goverment cycle to work scheme, where your company buys the bike and I pay it off each month through my wages, and I don't have to pay tax on it, so I get up to a 42% discount on my bike :D
So I've €1000 to spend on a bike and accessories..and I like these

This is the one I kinda really want..but its 2009 stock so the LBS is seeing if they can get me one :(
Then there are these...

or this one

I'm planning on joining a CC, once i've the bike and I'm used to it. I can also use it on my daily commute, as well as scooting around where I live...
I just don't know which one to go for...I liked the 09 bike, as it wasn't the whole amount I'm allocated, the other 2 are probably better groupsets etc...but I'm only a beginner.
So, there you have it..I'm open to all opinions and suggestions :)
Thanks,
:D
