Local road clubs? Bike shops - if they're not selling them officially, someone working there might be, or someone they know etc.

what sort of price would the condor be fenboy??

thinking of getting a 2nd hand road bike like the OP but no idea what to get in all honesty. The decathalon bike on the thread above for 300 quid looks ok for the money if you can get one

Are you in any club.

A recent post for a sub £100 road bike on my running club newsletter apparently netted three replies, the cheapest being £30.

if abnyone knows anyone selling a 56 or maybe a 54cm £500 budget but could be increased for the right bike

I bought a second hand Giant from this bloke:

£300-ish (can't remember how much exactly) for a second hand OCR2 in excellent condition. No idea why he's got so many bikes for sale but I didn't have any problems buying from him. Worth a go if any are the right size?
