Looking to buy my first road bike, figured it would be safer on here than get ripped off on eBay as I'm a complete novice and don't have a clue.
I'm 6"2 so need 60 cm road/touring frame or something close. Italian lugged steel with good original paint/chrome would be nice but not sure if that's possible for under £500?
Would prefer a geared (not fixed/ss) bike that is fairly complete and well maintained as I've never built bikes but happy to do some work if price is right.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
