Sorry - meant to say that I'm 5'9", and have tried and liked 21" / 54cm
frames.

Cheers

Sorry to clog up your newsreaders but I though I'd give this a go.

Have been looking for an entry level road bike for training and
possibly
triathlon. Been looking at Specialised Allez and Giant OCR, but
they're
slightly more than I want to pay (given buying SPDs, etc.). Have been
looking for a second hand bike, but not much luck as of yet.

I would advise you to continue to look at the second hand market. If you
want a new bike you might look at Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op's Revolution
Continental, which is priced at £299. I don't know this model, but all
the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op bikes I have seen have been exceptional
value for money.

Their website is at <URL:http://www.edinburgh-bicycle.co.uk/>.
Unfortunately deep linking into it doesn't work, but if you navigate
'Catalogue->Bicycles and Trailers->Edinburgh & Revolution->Revolution
Road Race & Touring Bikes 2004' you'll get there.

What a stupid website. I wonder how many people don't visit their site due
to this flaw (which I bet the shop doesn't even know about).

If you go here first:

http://www.edinburgh-bicycle.co.uk/catalogue/index.cfm

you can then get here:

http://www.edinburgh-bicycle.co.uk/catalogue/item.cfm?ID=3204

Which is better than trying to navigate.

It would be very surprising if the shop didn't know about it. They'd be
about the only people in the UK cycling world who didn't.

It's a daft bloody heap of [censored], isn't it? I've written to tell them,
but they cannot seem to understand it's a problem. So if I'm
recommending anything that isn't unique to EBC I usually post a link to
Wiggle, because Wiggle's site is easy to link to. I'd rather link to
EBC because I feel a lot more loyalty to them and very often they're
cheaper, but their web system is just a total crock.

Seconded. I've told them about this before as well, a number of times.
They clearly ain't gonna fix it.

Yep - it's definitely wilful and knowing ignorance on their part.

If anyone here has, or knows of a decent second hand bike that needs a
good
home with a very enthusiastic but rather poor student, please give me a
shout. I'd very much appreciate it!!

when
buying a bike)
