    My commuter was stolen on Friday, a Trek 1.2, and I just can't get the hang of this walking lark. I need a bike a quick.

    Required specs:
    58cm
    Drop bars
    True wheels, preferably not Alex rims.

    Desirable but not essential:
    Carbon fork
    Sora groupset - cheap and dependable
    SPD pedals.

    If you've got what I'm looking for let me know. I'll pay good money for the right bike. Remember this is a commuter, leisure bike so I don't wanna pay thousands.
    Sound.
    CB.

    Raam that's a tasty, tasty bike but it's too rich for my blood right now. I was hoping to keep it below €550.

    Thanks thehamo but I think that bike is a little bit too touring for me if you get my drift. It's hard to find a 58cm bike!

    Too pricey Rapidmike. Thanks though, they're a sweet bike.

    Would a 59 cm bike do? Must sell my winter bike, Claude Butler San Remo, all sora/tiagra rear mech/fsa vero triple cranks. New Cables/brakes/bottom bracket/headset this week!! Would be looking for about €320, based in cork. Frame is mudguard compatable but I don't have them!

    You know you want to. It even has drillings for rack mounts.

    Somefool, go nuts with the Claude Butler. I won't be in Cork for several years I'd imagine. :D

    Raam, will you let me take her for a spin. Fair warning though, I will not be buying on the day as it's over budget and I'll have to have a think.

    Hi Coolbeans,
    Don't want to step on Raam's toes, but if it doesn't work out with his bike, I have a 1 year old 58cm Felt Z100 that I've been half planning to sell in a couple of months (as its just that bit too big for me) and seeing this thread this might bring it forward. If you're in Dublin you're welcome to have a look at it. Its been upgraded to a Tiagra 9 speed compact from the original 8spd triple. Would be looking for around €450.
    There's a picture of it (pre upgrade I think) in the images of beauty thread somewhere but I haven't figured out how to post it to this link.
