My friend is looking to go on a adventure in France this later year and is after a bike that will be suitable for the trip. He is around 5"8 and will probably be carrying a normal size load... So not too militant and not too kitchen sink.

If anyone has a lead to a suitable bike or if anyone themselves is selling a bike please let me know!

Thanks and hello to everyone in the forum!

I have a Dawes World Tour available shortly, 9spd Deore with bar end shifters (indexed), everything good and works fine, new cables and chain, just in process of sorting seized stem and headset replacement but it will be available shortly with those sorted. Should be ideal for someone that height. Rack and mudguards fitted. Looking for £400

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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