    im deciding what road bike to buy with a budget or 360euro. i dont mind if its second hand but would want it in good condition for that price. wouldnt mind if i had to do some minor things to it. i quite like old vintage bikes, was looking at an 853 frame but its quite expensive and as im not a bike genius i thought it would be good to get other people ideas. but maybe you guys have some vintage bikes/new bikes you think i should take a look at....

    im 5foot11 so i guess i need a 56 to 58 frame size???

    im based right beside croke park in dublin. do you have your bike advertised anywhere or is it against boards.ie rules to ask or show such things?

    This seems to be a very good bike for the price http://www.decathlon.co.uk/triban-3-red-road-bike-id_8274036.html. Has decent parts and a Carbon fork as well. I'd buy it in a flash if I didn't have 7 bikes already. Best of luck with the bike search anyways.

    I'm not surprised, I had it saved as a favourite on Donedeal where I'd seen it originally but I didn't have the few bob at the time-which I do now:rolleyes:!! Ah well, you win some you lose some. Somebody went away with a very good bike at a very fair price
