(doesn't seem to be working at the momentââ'¬Â¦try the homepage. This is where I got mine)

Hope these help...I also had adtrader, tradeit and loot in my faves. These are well worth looking at too although you have to get past all the "Gents Raleigh Lizard £50ono". Some of the above don't change very much but its worth having them in your faves and clicking through them every day.

I got mine off bikepedlar.com for a good price but it was the first decent road bike I'd seen on there. I did look at Evanscycles.com and some of the other dealers but the "Special Offers" are not so special. You don't save a great deal. My criteria was a bike in VGC that retailed at about 1k for around 500. Bike I got retailed at about £900 and I got it for £450. Took a bit of looking but its worth it and if you live in Middle England there are plenty about...my problem was being stuck in West Wales.

Go to the cyclingplus website for advice on any purchases or any questions that come up during your search. They really are a knowledgeable bunch. If you look through the archives you'll find plenty of advice for beginners without needing to post the same old FAQ.

Good luck.
