He wants to try road riding - so wants a "racer" might ride twice a week on it. Wants to spend 200 just to get started. Anyone got a cheap starter bike or point me towards a bargain/deal. He's 5'10".
Morning Bump
Ebay, look for a 54cm.
Something like [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12788823&highlight=carrera ]this Carrera?[/url] on Bike Radar - though I reckon it'll be gone by now.
Post a wanted ad on BR - seems to be slightly better for Roadie stuff than here. It's worked for me when I've wanted road stuff. 🙂
what about this, any good? [url= http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_810691_langId_-1_categoryId_165710 ]click at halfrauds[/url]
I reckon [url= http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_272635_categoryId_165710_langId_-1?cm_sp=Intelligent_Offer-_-Product_Details_Zone_1-_-Blank&iozone=PDPz1#dtab ]this Halfrauds[/url] one is better value - nearly a kilo lighter (and a little less garish)
cool that one is better. Well in the absence of anything new they dont look half bad for 300 quid. Cheers for the steer DD.
A bit over budget but these Decathlon bikes seem good value - even come with carbon forks!

Any luck with the one on BR toys19? I saw that you'd posted a reply. I reckon it's gone isn't it?
no reply from seller yet. TBH for the 50 quid extra my mate can get a new one from halfrauds they do not look half bad so if matey does not reply it won't be then end of the world.
