Thanks Chris,

Really looking for something more modern for the upper-end of my budget and want to move away from downtube shifters

Hi all,

I bought a road bike from here around 3 years ago I believe and that has held up quite well (steel road bike with tube shifters). I've been looking for another road bike around the £300-400 range which is good for long distance rides and is durable - i.e. would be good for carrying some weight with it. I'm about 64kg at 5'7" and could carry up to 10kg with me. The bike will be used about 15 miles per weekday and quite a lot more on the weekends.

Bike size: 52-54cm is fine for me
Brand: not fussed
Material: not fussed
Groupset: expecting around shimano 105 range, but again I am no expert and will probably just google the specs I am given and make a conclusion off that.

Located around the London area and would prefer to pick up/test the bike.

Thanks

Preferably 531 tubing but I don't particularly care, as long as it's a strong bike they can hold some bags.

Size 21", prefer 700C wheels but 27" will do also, budget is around £150

located in east London, don't drive so can't collect thus would need to be shipped

Please PM me with offers

edit: something around these lines: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-Camargue-classic-road-bicycle-bike-cycle-touring-/291125169664?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item43c8698e00

Requires a little too much work for my liking, thanks anyway.

still looking

done

Can't seem to PM you my email address, please private message me

I just use road bikes to commute 5-10 miles a day, need nothing expensive and nothing that will get stolen. Don't care too much about how it looks, as long as it is all working. Prefer something sti shifters but really would consider downtube shifters or single speed... just not fixed

My last road bike was 21" frame,

pm me - paying paypal as I don't drive, so can't collect.

PM'd would be willing to pay today

How does it feel when you spin the axle, smooth and easy to turn or difficult and bumpy?

very smooth, I had the bearings replaced and the noise is still there

Is this normal? If not, any ideal what could be the problem?

I go to the gym a lot so my legs are not that bad - what do you gear ratio do you recommend?

I'm thinking of buying a single speed bike, I'm going to see one tomorrow which seems to be in good condition and will give it a whirl tomorrow to see if it's good fit for me.

I'm planning to use it to commute to university (18 miles round trip) everyday (in London), would it be OK for this? The gear ratio is 46-17 (I have no idea what this means, could someone explain?), is this sufficient? I also want to join my universities cycling society and hopefully do some club runs. I understand a geared bike would be better for it, but I don't want to whip out £500+ on something I may not use forever.

thanks

anyone? don't mind single speeds either

STI / ergo shifters as opposed to downtube shifters :) sorry, old brain overload!

np,

I really don't mind, but required is drop down bars

thanks.

new style? alu? steelie? retro?

alu steel or retro, not sure what you mean by new style

Looking for a decent road bike

prefer it to be kind of light, 10-11kg is fine, willing to pay up to £200

bike has to be fully working and not need any kind of servicing

I'm located in London,
170cm tall, 30" inseam 52cm bike but can usually squeeze for 54 also.
