Tell him to check out the Triban 3 road bike in Decathlon. £299, aluminium frame, carbon forks with a Shimano 2300 STI groupset. Chainset is a triple though. What sort of level does he ride at? I don't see the Triban being particularly limiting performance wise.

You will get more second hand, but it could save him the hassle of the search.

Theyre the cheapest new sti road bikes anywhere, nothing bad about them at all either really, a little bit of lost comfort and an extra 1kg.
