In the summer I'm planning on cycling through france and spain with 3 others for about a month. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. We're looking to keep cost to a minimum and are camping.
I currently don't own a road bike, we went into a shop and were advised to get a £700 speedster, however I was thinking of going second hand to get a descent reliable bike for a much cheaper price. I am also confused about different frame sizes, I've heard it makes a difference. I'm 6''2 13 stone so I'm guessing the biggest would be right for me? Isn't that 60'' frame?
Any help in terms of which bike to get, any specific kit or route advice would be greatly appreciated, we were thinking north of france to santander, but this doesn't have to be a direct route by any means, thanks!
