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...
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

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.
