[#6727326]

Normally used to riding a full sus over the moors or Oldham and Rochdale.

Signed up to a road bike ride with work - www.london-revolution.com

185 miles over 2 days in May of 2015

What would you recommend I look out for as a second hand buy.

Needs to carry 6'3" and 18st of beef and gristle

Will only use for this ride and then sell on

Thanks in advance for you recommendations

A used Giant defy is worth a look. Comfortable bike.

Im used to riding near you too; live in Royton.

I've got a Felt Z95, as a beginners road bike. It's sound and was just over £400 new, Merlin and Wiggle sell them. I'm selling it soon to upgrade as I like a bit of road action. However it'd be too small for you.

This is alright too. http://www.merlincycles.com/merlin-performance-road-pr7-bike-73113.html

Second hand Genesis Equilibrium?
Nice bikes, comfy. Lots around so should get one at a decent price and be able to sell on

S/H Giant defy, Specialized Allez or Cannondale CaaD8 easy to buy, easy to sell on.

A Hybrid would probably see you right.
