All depends upon what your budget is really, but these don't look to bad from a local shop, and you could also try and get MTBE discount Wink

or you could have a look online at the FOCUS brand, they do some good road bikes but not really sure of entry level prices. Wink

some decent bikes there, a think the giants got a bit more of a racier geomentry, and the bianchi more relaxed, but good for longer rides if your not used to road bikes
