Greetings Slowtwitchers:
A friend of mine is getting in road cycling and has committed to riding in a local 180 mile MS 150 charity ride. He needs a new road bike. My suggestions was to find a used bike, in good condition.
Based on a fitting, a 60cm - 63cm should fit him (he is 6’3), Here is what I am looking for:
- A bike with STI shifters
- Preferably Shimano 105 or better
- A double crank set
- 9 or 10 speed
- Road bike geometry (while I would love to get him on a tri/TT bike, I need to start him on a road bike)
I’m not looking for anything fancy or a leading brand name. Just a good road bike that you may have collecting dust in the garage.
If you think you may have something, please PM me.
Thanks!
Steve
