I'm looking on behalf of a friend (6ft2) who is after a bike that will get him back into cycling, specifically touring. He has ambitions to cycle across Europe at some point later next year.

Current budget is £250 max to dip his toe back in, ideally a half decent frame that can then be upgraded accordingly should things go well. Also something that accepts the standards that can be easily repaired/worked on should things go wrong further East.

Thank you.

flat bar or drops?

He thinks Flat bar. I guess the dream would be a frame that makes sense with either... he has very long arms.

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.
