Hi there !
First of all do forgive if these forums are heavily USA orientated and I'm in a wrong place !
Having spent a year in Germany and gotten into biking while I was there I now went on a crusade to find myself a nice vintage in the UK for roughly £200.
Being fairly inexperienced in this sort of thing and having only basic knowledge of frame qualities and quality of the bikes produced by different manufacturers I am now researching more about what I should look for and how not to get ripped off.
As I said roughly 200 quid budget and I'm looking for a road bike.
Any hints on which rough models and frames are within my price range and what I should beware of ?
Thanks in advance and again, sorry if I'm in a wrong place

Hello welcome to the fourms. we will do our best to try and help you out. are you looking for a 3spd or a "10 speed'??
in general with a 10 spd or Road Bike anything is a branded ChroMoly frame and fork will be a decent bike.
