Are there usually many full racers?

Ah right that clears some things up, thanks.

I'm basically wanting to buy a road bike to convert to a single speed, I don't have much money and don't want to put a lot of money in to it because it will probably just get stolen in the city. I'm 5'3 with short legs!

The girls bike in the above picture looks a lot smaller than the guys. So the wheels are 650c but the bike will be a small adults bike? (like 50cm or something?)

Finding an old working road bike for under £50 seems difficult right now.

I've just read all this thread and I'm slightly confused. (newbie alert!)

So when you say '650c', you're referring to the wheel size rather than the whole bike?

Do women buy boys road bikes in order to get a small enough bike to fit them? (If they're poor and need to buy second hand!)

I ride downhill bikes so I'm not a complete idiot but I know pretty much nothing about road bikes!

What is this girl riding then?

Cheers!
