    I'm looking to move off my MTB and get a light road bike. Nothing too flash but would like solid wheels, terrain not great where I am.

    Only cycling 50-75 km's a week at the moment and want to push it up a bit before the end of the end of the summer.

    Suggest you specify a budget or more detailed specification.

    Nope, that's about right for a decent used starter bike (which might be €700 new).

    Check adverts.ie and gumtree.ie, though most second had bikes become available in the autumn/end of summer.
