Wanted: small audax/sportive-style road bike (5ft5)

Hi.

Will be doing some longer audaxes (600k to 3000k) this year. Currently using a relatively heavy steel frame with disk brakes and looking to get something lighter and faster for these rides. Fairly open to different options re frame material, braking system, but need something reliable with nice groupset I guess. Interested to see what you can offer!

I'm 5ft5 so probably would need something like a 49 / 50cm frame, depending on geometry.

Budget up to £800, give or take.

Cheers!

Hi,

I'm 5'7" but have a really nice Kona Honky Tonk I've built up with 52cm frame, shimano 10sp 105 throughout, hope wheels, 28c tires and in really great condition,loads of bosses for bottles, racks & guards, built for audaxing! It's a great ride and the wheels make it much lighter than you'd imagine! I can get you more pics if needed. I'm after £450-£500 depending if it's collection or delivered!

Hi! Thanks for your message. hmm it does look nice... Are you in London? I would be interested to come and take a look...

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm up in Derbyshire, I've not put it up in the ads yet, but was going too, but I do come to London quite often and could bring it if you're interested just to see it, no pressure!

Where abouts are you? Red

Also got this from same club member. Giant TCR.

£850 (Postage incl.)

By the Way....

I've just noticed the pic of the bike I posted is of the unfinished version, obviously the crap pedals aren't used and the bars are certainly wrapped!

Thanks. I can't actually open that link. The page reads "It looks like you don't have permission to do that. This might happen if you're trying to view a private sub forum." Any chance you could send me the details in a different format?

Also, if you have any more details on the Giant TCR, that would be grand.

Noted! I'm in London unfortunately. Bike certainly looks nice but I suspect it's not right for me this time - I always end up with frames that are too big for me and don't want to do that this time! So, if you were going to bring it down in any case, I would be interested to take a look/have a spin, but wouldn't want to cause you the hassle otherwise...

Still looking ? PM incoming...

Ktoast is still searching for the ideal bike...Something will turn up, I'm sure...GLWSearch !
