Is this still available??

Didn't your mother ever say "and if everyone would jump off a bridge..."

Yeah she did, but I never listened to her. You're pretty up tight about the whole carbon thing... Chill man, it's just a bike.

Giant size XL is recommended for those over 6'3 - there are TCRs and Defys in XL at cycle surgery Holborn (thought possibly not built/on display) that fall into your price range. As mentioned above, definitely explore your options a bit, and try to make your choice fit with your intended usage. Carbon might not be right for big tours but its definitely a great choice for day rides, club runs, cycling holidays (with accommodation) and shorter light/creditcard touring. You might get a bit more help here if you go into more detail about how you want to use it generally, and what you envisage yourself doing in France.

Danns: Thanks for your help. Basically it will be used for day rides. I'll hopefully take it to France with a bunch of friends, but won't be carrying much on it each day as we have a van to carry all equipment. I was thinking carbon simply because I know that is what the others use.

They all do large carbon frames which should be big enough, probably not going to get a carbon bike for that much though, more looking at just the frame in that price range.

Great! Thanks for your help. In terms of price I could actually look up to £2k-2500 as I can get a friend to buy the bike at wholesale prices and don't mind spending a bit more.

I'll check these out. Thanks.

[]You don't need as big as possible. You need what fits
[]Carbon is not the greatest material for a touring bicycle
[*]1500 for a complete bicycle is not terribly much.
Starting point is, as always, to measure your inseam and compare that to the averages for you height. Michael Phelps is 6'4" but has short legs and slightly larger feet. The bicycle frame that would fit him would need to have an oversquare geometry. Most European bicycles tend to, in larger sizes, be designed for riders with comparatively shorter torsos.

Carbon? With very few exceptions its all from 3-4 Chinese factories and targeted for riders of average morphology, none of it for riders 6'6".

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate I need a bike that fits, not 'as large as possible, but without getting into specifics what i was really looking for is advice on where does sell larger frames. I'm 6ft 6 and quite clearly need a larger frame, which can be hard to find, so any suggestions for brands would be great!

In terms of the carbon, it is not essential. If you have a better suggestion then please do let me know.

Hi,

I am looking to spend between £1000 - 1500 on a carbon road bike. The idea is to take it on longer rides and around France. Up until now I have always ridden fixed and so know very little about what to look for.

The main issue I'm having is finding somewhere that stocks my size. I'm 6ft 6 and so really need as big as possible.

looking to buy something in the next couple of weeks, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Has anyone heard of Pennati as a manufacturer? Looking to buy a frame advertised as a Pennati but can't find anything about them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers and sorry.

Hi,

I'm looking for a large frame and forks.

Minimum size is 63cm as I'm a tall bugger.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Potentially interested if you could send some closeups of the rusted bits. Could collect from London.

Open to offers. I would like this gone by the weekend!!!!

Cheers for help. Hopefully this should work.

Struggling to attach pics... Just keeps sayiong upload error.

Any help?

Hi,

Sadly I am having to sell my girlfriends bike for her as it's not being used and just sitting idly taking up much needed space.

I recently purchased the bike from ReCycling in Elephant Castle, which means it's not stolen and in good working order. The bike itself is brilliant!!! It's sturdy, easy to ride and very comfortable. The paint work is all in good nic and the dynamo light at the front still works perfectly.

My girlfriend has only used it a handful of times and it's been kept in a garage away from the endless rain and shitty weather.

If you're looking for a stylish and reliable bike for the summer then this is it.

I paid £275 for it and I would ideally like to recover those costs as it has barely been used.

Get in touch if you're interested. It's collection only but I can meet you anywhere central in London. The bike is kept in Battersea.

Cheers

GO Boris!!!!

Any new riders in Shepherds Bush..? Seen a few fixies kicking around on my commute.

Hi,

The title says it all. My grilfriend is looking for a cheap Dutch style ladies bike (preferably) for cruising around town.

Not looking to spend more than £80 as it's her first bike.

Let me know.

Regards,
Beaton21

Oh man, just too late.

I only smoke rollies.
