TIONThe Apollo Fusion Road Bike 51cm is a great value road bike featuring low resistance road tyres, a lightweight aluminium frame and 14 speed Shimano gearing. This bike is ideal for those who have been considering getting into road cycling but have not been able to justify the expense.
The drop handlebars and frame design ensure the rider is in an aerodynamic riding position while the thumb shifters ensure the rider doesn't have to reach down to the down tube to change gears. The Fusion makes light work of hills and is perfect for cycling around town or exploring country lanes at the weekends.

I am looking for a good first road bike that is cheap and will let me be able to travel faster then my current, heavy mountain bike. The bike will be used to travel max distances of 50miles at one time.

yeah for it's price but considering the general price of a good road bike these days don't expect anything amazing, looks alright for general riding tho
i'll only be using it to ride around 50 miles journeys with a friend, i just want to find something to replace my current heavy, fat wheel mountain bike with something that will be more sensible for what i need.. do you think its worth saving another 100 and get something different?

ah fair enough then, I ride mtb aha, trek 3900 series 2009, bought it off my neighbour mint condition for only £150 quid
don't really ride that often, my dad has a road bike, he said before that the good road bikes cost around 1-2k, of course i doubt you'll be wanting to spend that for general riding so this bike looks good for you :p

don't want to sound cheesy but could you ask your dad what he thinks about the bike? say it's just a entry road bike only used for 50miles max in one trip?
and i really wanna spend no more then 350 ish
