    For 2nd hand advice you would need to say bike size as there were some lovely bikes up for sale over the last month by boardsies.

    Bryan McCrystal is selling a Giant TCR with Full Ultegra and decent wheels on one of the Facebook selling pages. If it's good enough for him....

    If you were willing to wait another month or 6 weeks free motion in gran canaria sell off their 2017 hire bikes. Dont shy away when you hear hire bikes. These are maintained to a very high standard by top bike mechanics. I have bought from them in the past and found great deals even with the postage back. They do cannondale mainly but i think now have specialized and BH. You would probably pick up last years cannondale super 6 with ultegra for 1200 euro. With a guarantee. Not sure how long. When i bought mine i went out there for a few days cycling and brought it back on the plane for 50 euros. The bikes are immaculate. Obviously you would want to throw your leg over the same model here to be sure you are getting the right size as these sizing charts never seem to fit me correctly. Worth giving their site a look anyway.

    Is this like the thread looking for wheels where everyone else had to do some research and provide price, spec, and recommendations telling you what you should and shouldn't like?
