Hi, during this lockdown I’ve been riding my mountain bike on the road and have now decided to it’s the bullet and buy a 2nd hand road bike. Can anyone recommend a few possibilities? I’m 6ft 1 and quite large with improving fitness. I’m looking at a nice entry-level bike that will suit my size. Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to go to the forum's wanted section and put your requirements (size, budget, location, any preferences about material, colour, gearing, brakes, etc) and someone's bound to have something.

It's hard to recommend a specific bike to get second hand because the chances of that exact one coming up could be tricky. You're better off looking for a bike that fits your criteria and being flexible on the exact make and model.

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:

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

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

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