I am after an older but half decent Road bike for my girlfriend as she has decided she wants to get into cycling.
I dont want to spend to much as I'm not convinced she will stick to it however I don't want to get her on a heap of junk, I want to get her something I would ride otherwise she'll never enjoy it.. And i could use it as my winter trainer.
A Cannondale r500 or similar would be what I'm after in a medium/large frame with sti shifters. I dont think she'd get on with downtube shifters! Condition doesn't matter to much along as it's mechanically sound..
I'm looking to spend around £150 plus postage if your out of my comfortable driving zone but I'd be willing to go higher for something nice..
Cheers
Chris
