Hi all.
A friend of mine is looking to get his first road bike. Budgeting up to about £300. He's keeping a good eye on Ebay but nothing quite suitable as yet, so I thought I'd check here in case anyone happened to have something they want to sell, along these criteria:
- Suitable size for a 5' 6" man
- Road bike with drops
- Not too "aggressive" in geometry
- In decent nick, easy to maintain
- A nice low bottom gear, for easier introduction to the world of vicious hills
For example, we were looking at a Ribble Audax on ebay.
I appreciate that's quite specific! But thought it worth a post. He would be able to pick up in West Yorkshire. A reliable guy who I can definitely vouch for
