Tom, if your budget goes up I am selling this Scott. Not really a hack, and I would need to post it, but size wise it would be ok. http://scottbike.weebly.com/index.html
Looks a nice bike, but I'm sure it will be a wee bit above my budget.
I suppose I could stretch my budget to £200 if anyone has a reasonable second hand road bike to offload.
I think I will be needing a geared bike, as it looks like I will be moving a bit further away from work and have some more hills to cover. Fixed and hills in the winter doesn't appeal!

Mags,
I have my alu Ribble winter framed bike for sale. I have recently re-built it up from the frame with Tiagra triple components and it has a new rear deraileur and chain. The cassette is pretty new. The brakes are 105 (they would not fit my new Kinesis). It takes full guards. The frame has horizontal geometry and I think it is 58 cm. The wheels are Shimano 500 with Prorace 2 tyres. I am looking for £250 for it.

Considering selling my hack. Had it for a fair few years and is a tatty frame was a Record Sprint originally, 501 aero space tubing has cheapish shimano gears (7 or 14) Ultegra octalink crank, 105sc hubs on mavic 190 rims, halfords carbon seat post, nice saddle, etc. Probably be looking for £120 posted.
The brakes need sorting though as I only have recess brakes, I've drilled the forks to take them but need an angle drill to get the back sorted. Also needs taping up.
