road

Hi all,

I am embarking on a charity ride next summer, my first as a road rider!

We are riding across/through 25 counties in a week and the new mile tally is 556 miles, a quick calculator visit tells me that that is nearly 80 miles day.

Now my riding experience over my lifetime amounts to a touch of BMX racing in my youth and hybrid riding in recent times. As I enter my new life as a road rider I need to approach a few things to set me on my journey.

**Please note this bike is now SOLD**

My Trek Madone 4.5 Race Bike - I have been using this bike for 2 seasons, but due to injury it has spent most of this year in my hallway. I have therefore reluctantly decided to sell it on.

Hi there guys - I've been asked by my dad to sell his Wilier as it's been replaced with a Surly (He's getting old!) so this one has to go.

It's a Large frame which suits most from about 5'10 - 6'3 (fairly short top tube).

Fantastic bike for those getting in to road cycling or wanting to upgrade to a smooth, italian racer.
The frame is Aluminium with carbon seat stays which, i'm told, give a really comfortable and zingy ride - Dad happily plods the miles on with this and hasn't moaned about it being uncomfy so it's got to be pretty good!

My friend is buying a first road bike, and is looking to spend sub £600. For this I should imagine that she will be able to afford:
>Shimano 2300 or maybe Sora
>Carbon forks
>Decent tyres

I do know quite a lot about bicycles, so I recommended the following models:
-Specialized Allez 16
-Giant Defy 5
-Raleigh Airlite 200 or 300

The new bike is actually for a three day ride to Amsterdam later on in the year.

Being like minded with the designers of Cervelo bikes, you'll note that I didn't recommend any female specific bikes.
