Have a look at sites like road.cc or Cycling Weekly. Loads of price-based group reviews. I bought a Ribble Audax for £650. Nothing fancy but I ride a 64cm frame and not many build them that big. It's quite upright too so easier on the back etc for longer rides.I'd look for what are described as 'sportive' bikes. I have a Tiagra groupset, cheap but does the job. The Decathlon BTwin road bike just won Cycling Weekly's best - value award. Spend the money if you get into it. Bloke I go riding with started with a £300 Carrera from Halfords. Just bought a Felt for a grand as he's out all the time now.

Giant Defy 3 if they are still available will be more than good enough for most riders.If you're a regular sized bloke there's probably a good second hand market. I'd you're tall or short shop around for last year's model closepouts etc.

The 2016 model got 9 out of 10 in Cycling Weekly. Mate has a Felt and loves it. Try and get a sit on one if you can.
