About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I posted a deal for this bike before, but now Merlin are offering 10% off making this less than £600 delivered. Personally I think that a 10 speed road bike with rim brakes is a good investment right now as parts are cheap and still readily available and maintenance is easy. The main downside is that you're limited with the width of the tyre you can fit.

sorted byThe RC520 is fitted with hybrid hydro-mechanical disc brakes and can take up to 36mm tyres, so would make more sense if you plan to spend a proportion of time riding on tow paths etc.
Also the RC520 has a wider range of gearing with the lowest gear being 34x32, compared to 34x28 on the Montegrappa, so this would help a beginner planning to tackle steeper climbs. That said, 34x28 is a plenty low enough gear for an experienced and fit rider to get up any hill in Britain and the fact that the RC520 is 1kg heavier that the Montegrappa means that climbing would be more of a challenge. On the other hand, the RC520 would be better in terms of braking on the descents.
I would say that if you plan to stick to mainly flat road riding, the Montegrappa would be the better choice given that you're saving over £250. (edited)
