Me and Oggy have been thinking of getting a road bike for a while now, mainly to get some road miles done to keep on top of bike fitness and keep in shape. I had a shortlist of bikes from Merida, Scott & Specialized. In the end I decided on the Merida 901 having seen it in Revolution in Bangor and got the chance to take it for a spin.     The bike was £500, they threw in 2 bottle cages, 2 bottles, SPD's and 2 continental innertubes. I didn't think that was a bad deal. Just need to get on it now and get used to it!! |

I bought mine 3 years ago.
A lot different to a mountain bike but very fast and less road resistance.

Gone over to the darkside have we??? I know!!. I find theres always a time where I wont get time to get up on the hills but I will be a ble to get in some road time to keep it up, get on it and smash out some hill reps get the legs pumping. I take my mountain bike to work with me but theres nowhere to go there, so I will use this a lot there. |

That, in itself, is a worrying statement Martin!!
Anyway, I like the bike. Nice one for £500.
