Helping a friend who is after a road bike. Relatively modern (2000+), pretty open to what it's made from. Size needs to be small, in the region of 52, no higher than 53. Budget up to £500 (not anything higher). Let me know if you have anything. Cheers

Just to add, not an out and out racing bike. Something that you could do some light touring on that will take mudguards and panniers.

Thanks for the reply, but he's after a complete build. Cheers

I have a Dawes Giro 500 available, can't give you exact size because I'm not at home right now but it's equivalent to a 52cm in trad geometry. Has full Tiagra 9spd with compact chainset, mudguard clearances and mounts, will take a lightweight rack with a bit of adaptation. Everything works as it should, recent service, excellent condition. Looking for £280. I'm in SE1/Waterloo.

No probs. I'm away until Monday but after that he's welcome to come and look and give it a try. Choice of saddles and pedals available.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
