Wanted: Road bike for turbo trainer

jlx1

Wanted Road bike for turbo trainer only!

Steel or aluminum

Medium size (around 54cm)

Can’t use my carbon bikes as they may crack so just looking for a basic bike that will only be used on the turbo trainer.

Condition of bike not too worried about.

Looking to spend 200 - 300 euro

Cheers

Why would they crack?

Brand new €325

Will be selling a Specialized Allez (54cm) in coming weeks with new BB and 105 53/39 chainring/ wheel service in that price bracket - would also be perfect as a winter/ training bike

Based in Whitehall if you wanted to check it out

Would let all go bar the turbo for 125

Matt Bianco

Here are some photos of the Specialized Allez as promised. The bike is the 2011 model and I am the second owner. I have used it for approx 2500 km per year for audaxing and have maintained it well - there are scrapes and scuffs as you'd expect but the bike itself is in good mechanical order with a new BB and 105 5800 53/39 crankset installed in January.

Bike would come minus saddle (the one in the photos is a lend from an audax contact as looking into switching to a Brooks saddle but comes with the original Specialized 143cm saddle in perfect condition). I will also hang onto the raceblades for the commuter bike.

Let me know if interested - I am looking at a new Specialized Diverge so unfortunately have to let this go beforehand.

Thanks for the interest

What sort of money are you looking for this Matt? Seems a shame to put it on a turbo.

@MojoMaker

You're right as there's a lot of life in it beyond being parked on a turbo - it's a fantastic winter bike and has served me well but as I mentioned I need to move it on for the new arrival!

I am looking for €300 - jlz1 is planning a viewing in the coming fortnight as I'm still working on the finances but let me know if also interested and I can keep you posted

MojoMaker

That Felt F75 for €125 including some turbo accessories makes a lot more sense for an indoor project. Be a shame to put an Allez to work on the turbo.
