wanted: complete road bike

Posted on
  • Want to have a bike without panniers and a racier geometry to start getting into longer rides as the summer approaches.

    Have so far investigated older caads but I'm not necessarily looking for anything in particular. £300 or so budget but prepared to go higher for the right bike. Want a 105 groupset and above. Modern (as in stis etc) bike preferred.

    I'm around 6'2 with a 33 inside leg so have been working on the presumption a 58cm frame would be good, but it's been so damn long since I've bought a bike that I could well be wrong - any advice greatly appreciated.

    Am ok at fixing and fettling so something that needs a bit of tlc would be fine - but ideally it'll be well looked after and ready to ride. Realise I may be asking for too much for money available...

    Is that bike I'm looking for sitting looking forlorn in your garage/hallway/bedroom - wouldn't you rather have cash in hand and spend it on your number 1 bike/outfit/casino? If so, get in touch...

    Cheers!

  • I have a LOOK KG361 going spare.
    57cm with 3x9 speed Centaur groupset.

    However for your £300 budget, you are more in the territory of Specialized Allez bikes with Shimano Tiagra/105.

    58cm is about the right size in traditional geometry.

    Cheers
