Hi,

I have been cycling ,most of my life (early forties) but never on organised rides or races.

I am orgainising a charity event to cycle 100 miles from Casablance (Morroco) to London via France. I need to buy a bike for the ride that will be comfortable and light. I have £1300 to spend on it and am leaning towards second hand as I'll get more for my money.

Any suggestions on what to buy and what not buy?

Many thanks

Dave
