BONGO Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I know next to nothing about thee things. Ok, £200 - £250, a little more if it's really needed and the benefits are worth it.to fit a 6ft personI don't know what other info to give. I don't know what are good and bad makes, or where to look, besides the obvious halfords. Any help, ideally plenty of links in the replies would be really appreciated!!!Thanks boyo's, i can always count on TF for help!!Bongus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Are you after a big bike? like a 600 or a 1000?Or a little pedda?Liam i think bonghole is referring to a road bicycle, just check ebay, make sure its got a large frame, good components etc. shimano, mavic, look, bianchi, reynolds, just bash in various things and see what you find A fair few years back, the father gotthis from my auntie (she worked at lotus) when they came back from le tour de france, frame cost £100 Rides like a beast, needs a little more carbon goodness though as i ride it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtbiker Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Are you after a big bike? like a 600 or a 1000?Or a little pedda?LiamI'm pretty sure Bongo's asking about road bikes as in ones with pedals...Beaten to it!If you cast an eye over eBay there are often some nice bits of kit going for surprisingly small amounts of money on there.

future orange 660 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 carrera's are a bag of heavy shyte avoid.plenty of cheap giants that size about. many hardly used due to that type of build, generally not using them lollook on ebay for anythng like an scr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 if you can squeeze the extra 100 then look at these ..Edin cyclesOr as said, have a look for giant SCR or specialized allez on ebay, probably some 05/06 ones about. with these two you know you'll get a pretty good spec. And go into a bike shop to get sized up as if its wrong your back will ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
