Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Big Decision: MK2 - Help Needed!

Hey guys, last year due to some great help on these forums, i purchased my first road bike. I ended up getting the low end Giant OCR 4. I loved the bike and road it everywhere.

Unfortunetally last week someone stole it . It was locked up with a £30 lock (however not d), and was stolen in broad daylight, in a busy shopping area. Still gutted, but on the lookout for a new bike

I dont have too much to spend, max about £325, and would be looking for a similar bike, preferably in the Giant range. It was size 51, and im just wondering what size that converts to, M?

Cheers for your help guys

Hit your local classifieds and see what is going for sale.
I've bought a couple of fantastic bikes second hand, including a Pegeout 753 pro with Ultegra for £225 and a Mercian Superstrider with Campy for £200.
You've had your bike long enough to know what you like and what you don't. Also take your cycling shorts and a 5mm allen key with you when you go to have a look at a bike so you can take it for a test spin.

Also worth checking your local bike club web site as they often list bikes for sale.

And remember to haggle, so go look at £400 bike and then explain you only have £325 and its cash.

Have fun looking.
