Mountain Biker needing some road bike advice

MIchael Cummings

Hi all

I'm into mountain biking (sorry.......).

A mate of mine is looking into getting a road bike so I said I would seek some advice on his behalf. He's looking at spending no more that £300.

I've looked at the "What road bike" thread, and there's nothing there... Please help.

Where does he start? What can he hope to get from tat budget??

Thanks in advance

For £300 I'd go second hand. He may be able to pick up soemthing like this:

for his budget
