Sub £300 Road Bike?

[RunningDownADream]

Hi Everyone

Im looking for a road bike for under £300, now Ive come here to maybe purchase someones old road bike or something that they dont use anymore as I know finding one for £300 or less new is tough. Im looking for something 58cm upwards, not looking for full carbon just something of average quality!. If anyone has anything let me know!

If you tell us what it is about the Triban 3 that doesn't suit you, someone might be able to suggest summat else.

Mainly the deep red colouring and the brand itself, know I shouldnt be so picky but I want to get something that I really like the look of aswell

This is as good a reason as any.

Sarcasm or genuine?

Does a pic of my bike answer your question?

The Triban 3 is about the best bike (that I've seen) new in that price range - So if it's not for you, you'll want to look at second hand bikes, unless you want to go for a lower spec bike to get a more preferable colour scheme.

ianRauk- It does and that is one hell of a cool bike .

HovR - Yes I would much prefer a second hand bike that someone maybe has as their old one or just laying around

Take a look in the classified sections of the forums - Some quite good deals can be found in there.

Excellent advice thank you!. Just thought I would bring out anyone who didnt put an ad in the classifieds!
