WTD: Cheap Road Bike

    Hoping someone can save me from dealing with Facebook and Adverts!

    My brother has decided he wants to take up cycling, so I've been tasked with finding him something decent to start out on.

    Not pushy in the slightest once its a 52/54 frame. Not afraid of something that needs a little work either, I've got tools and spare consumables here! Ideally something like a Carrera Zelos or that class of bike.

    He only really wants to spend a max of 150 quid, but if something ideal comes up, I'll part with a few quid myself to get him on the road!

    What have ye? :D

    I have a nice Aluminium frame with seatpost, could throw in bars and stem for 150? 54cms

    Does it have a group set? I'd love to build a bike up for him but I don't think it'd be in the budget to do so really!

    Not at that price I'm afraid....
    Frame, seatpost, bars and stem as far as I could go.
    Very nice aluminium frame though..........
    Pristine ....

    Not to many decent bikes around for €150 and the ones that are would usually be stolen.

    This looks decent in size and budget

    Yeah I had spotted that last night and sent it on!

    Turns out a mate of mine might be selling his Trek so that will probably do!

    Will leave this thread open a little longer in case it doesn't pan out
