Hi All,

Limited budget of €300.

I am 5'11".

Cheers,

No bikes out there?

Budget is probably a bit low.

True,

You may want to up your budget by at least another 100 to get any sort of decent road bike

Will stretch to €400, but really only looking for a winter hack.

Willing to listen to any decent offers.
Thanks folks

I might be selling on my Giant OCR3 in a few weeks, but nothing solid yet.

Just fitted with a brand new Sora 3400 rear derailluer, serviced about a month ago (new cables, everything cleaned and greased etc) and the bar tape is only a little older than than.

It's a medium (suit someone from say 5'5 to about 5'10) Giant Compact geometry.

It's got a Coppi blade full carbon front fork that was fitted after market and Shimano R500 wheels.

It sounds like it would be exactly what you are looking for, and something as simple as putting a slightly longer stem on it would probably make it perfect for you.


Groupset is all Sora.


It even comes with a Rack fitted and eyelets for mudguards.

If you are interested i can throw up pics tomorrow.

Cheers lads,

Will happily look at both. Medium frame may not suit on the giant.

Would be good to see pics

Yeah, I'd say the boardman would be a better deal for you to be honest so I'll let him fire away and I'll hold off, like I said, I was only thinking of selling and you'd need to buy a longer stem to make my bike suit yourself anyway.
