    I have looked into the TDF and the Triban 3 as they are all around budget and have also looked at the second hand market to see if i could find something relatively cheap.

    I don't really know much about bikes at the moment but i am trying to do as much research as possible.

    Could someone maybe have a look at the link below and guide me in the right direction? I don't think i can rely on my (very) limited knowledge, i don't know who else to ask!

    Its a fine bike and would be similar but better than both the TDF and Triban, however, there is no frame size mentioned on the ad. Looking at the top tube I'd say its a 56cm. How tall are you, size is very important so be sure you have it right.

    Thats a good price too.
