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 :cry:. 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 :D

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.
