Question from a road bike newbie....

Coming from a MTB background, I always run the belief that V-brakes are rubbish whilst hydraulic disc is a much better option. Is this not a concern on road bikes, or does the reduced weight make it a non-issue?

They still use rim brakes in the pro peloton so I think you'll be fine! You'll only notice a difference in wet conditions

Linear pull V-brakes are awesome, as long as they're not center pull. :). Only other thing i'd consider are hydraulic discs for wet weather. Mechanical disks not so good.

Looks an awesome bike. Just bought a 2011 Marin Mill Valley road/sport hybrid which i'm rather enjoying but gotta say this one is tempting!

these are caliper brakes, not v brakes but much the same really.

Disk brakes on road bikes are becoming more common and I can see the benefits in the wet (caliper brakes in the wet is an... errr.... 'interesting' experience!) but in the dry there is no need for disks.

as another road bike newbie are either of these better for the money than the 400 quid full carbon argos ventura that is still available. I'm no bike snob so branding is irrelevant. thanks

The components on this one are a lot better, for example Shimamo Tiagra is a class higher than Sora, so you will get smoother shifting experience. It will come in handy when you need to stop and go in city traffic.
At this price point, the aluminium which is double butted - meaning thinning in the middle and thicker around the joints - would probably not materially different than carbon frame in weight. Road feel might vary a bit though, as carbon is generally considered "softer".
Overall, this one is probably a better deal.

The Marin is the better deal with Tiagra 10sp with better performance,if you want a slightly more relaxed upright riding position, Wiggle have the Felt Z85 HERE
Also take care to get the correct size its more important than the specs.

At 6" 1, which size should I get?

At 6" 1, which size should I get?

55.5 or 58. The 58 might feel a bit stretched out.

25th Aug 2015

I bought this the day after it was posted. Superb bike for the cash. I'm 6'1 in height and the 55.5 is spot on for sizing. Please bear in mind when you buy this bike that it's part built. The brake cables were disconnected and required fitting and cutting, the front dérailleur required setting up, RD needed indexing and the handlebars were not fitted. I was surprised as I've got another two bikes which only needed the handlebars aligning only. It also looks a lot better in person too.
