I'm looking at buying a road bike. I know nothing and I mean nothing about road bikes and my local roadie shop are, not welcoming, is probably the best way to describe it so I've decided to go S/H.
I'm a large bloke 16 stone 6ft, 32 leg. Not wobbly fat but certainly no waif so I need something sturdy and I don't fancy being crouched over so I think something a little more upright is required. I may well end up hating it so I don't want to spend much money first off, what should I be looking for in a good secondhand buy?
