54cm road bike - getting desperate!

[Andrew_Culture]

My little sister is doing a 70mile sponsored ride through London in three week's time and so far she has done all her training on a Carerra MTB. So she's desperate for a road bike.

We've been hunting eBay for something like a second-hand Triban 3 but have had not joy

Non existent, but up to £200 realistically

I'd suggest this; http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/peugeot-ao-8-record-du-monde-1973-12-speed-700c-wheels.156073/

But you're a bit far away and my offer of riding it to you won't stretch! I'm near London but not until the 11th/12th June.

My sister has just told me she has a budget of fifty quid, I'm headbutting my desk here. I've just emailed my dad to scrounge on her behalf.

Hire one for £50 ?
Boris bikes are a good deal

With all the Londoners on the forum someone'll lend her a bike, surely? If I still lived in Suffolk/London I'd lend you/her a 54cm road bike for her 70mile ride.

I'm old school so yes youre right . You can borrow my bike but if you break it you buy it . With a £50 budget you can borrow a picture of my bikes . But I want the picture back .
