I have recently taken up cycling and initially bought a hybrid bike - as Claud Butler Urban 100. I have since then found that i prefer road cycling to off roading and am now considering purchasing a road bike. My budget is only £300.00, so appreciate I will probably have to buy a used bike! I am 5'10" tall, so advice as to what size would help! Anyone able to help?

N.B. I live in Leics, if that helps!
Yeah you are right in that new road bikes often start a lot higher in price than other types of bikes. If you are purchasing second hand, make sure you see the bike. Never buy one without seeing it as it could be cracked, or bend which would then mean that it is basically worthless. You might want to look at one that is just a few years old. These can generally be set up to more of a recreational bike that older road bikes can (eg. ahead stems etc.)
Hi, I am also interested in getting this bike, the best deal and price which i have found after numerous hours of searching is at carandcycle.netcarandcycle.netOpen ↗ Can anyone review this bike??
