Now ya prolly know im doing some long ass bike for charity, 56 miles- and I be in need of a road bike.

Now i know, the generall term for a road bike is you get what you pay for, meaning the more you pay the better, but can anybody with experience tell me if if bikes that are like 150-200 are decent? (£)

Here are a few Ive got an Eye on.

your arse is gonna be sore xD

the smaller thinner saddles are designed for long rides because that's how are bone and body are designed to sit i know this because i have a flat saddle and it's a hell of a lot comfier than a big fat padded one in long distances.

narrow seats also give you more power into ure riding and stops that up right position that also looses power. it's all about weight distribution to get a better ride more leg movement 2

You can buy alternate saddle, you can also get an 'extension' on the saddle (not sure what they're called in english) if your taking different ride.
