Hi everyone!
As a student, I bought a 2009 Giant CRS 4 (womens) as I was cycling a few miles per day. I've now moved to London and want to cycle-commute (6 miles, hilly) but there are a couple of little niggles with my current model: mainly that it's a bit 'sturdy' and the gears are always on the highest setting.
I'd really like to change up for a 'proper' road bike, ideally without spending much. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to do this - exchange programs etc? Or good second hand retailers in London who buy and sell?
Thanks!
