Wanted: Geared road bike for 5'10" (31" inseam)

Wanted for a friend - I think that means probably a 56 (?) ish.

Probably modern ish and as good as possible for the money (soperiva had one that would have been perfect but I saw it too late) but could be older with a modern group set (I think it pretty much has to have STIs or he won't get on with it....

Probably £200 - £400 ish
