Road bike 52cm

Don't stretch out at all, especially a new cyclist who's over the age of 20. Take a look at high end straight handlebar bikes, eg; Specialized Sirrus Elite Carbon, where the geometry, specifically stack & reach will be more comfortable but still enable serious training and speed.

For £150...good luck with that!!

At £150 all the more reason to get a hybrid, used or otherwise, rather than pay inflated prices for a so called 'racing bike'.
But seriously, what are you going to get that's worth riding for £150?

Hybrids can actually cost more, especially in London where there are plenty of cycle commuters.
A second hand Carerra for example would be fine for a turbo. The riding experience isn’t really that important on a turbo bike surely?

To be fair he’d be fine with that, just wants something that will fit a turbo no fuss.

A good shout here.

14 speed? Muddyfox - currently £60: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Muddyfox-Omnium-Womens-Road-Bike/184616738524

Sheffield Triban?

Although it'll go up in price for sure...maybe he can find more, or spend less on the turbo paraphernalia?

Also try Streetbikes in Huddersfield - https://www.facebook.com/street.bikes.5/ and https://streetbikes.org.uk/recycled-bike-shop/

Their adult bikes are £40 / £60 / £80. They tend to be MTB's or hybrids but are all in good working condition.

Trek is great. Putting drops on and it’s a cheap decent gravel/winter bike.

This is just over budget but would probably fit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Giant-De...llow-Shimano-Sora-Triple-Gearset/284150928785

Good find. Weird it’s an M but 50cm. Wish he would buy, instead of bern like a rabbit in the head lights. He may recover and start running again but it will lead to the vicious circle of injury.

It's a 57cm frame though - which would be too big?
