edited January 2011 in Road buying advice
Been offered one of these from my local bike shop for £350 on a pay as much as you can when you can. This is because my 6 year old Airlite 100 needs £110 spending now and another £70 in the near future, i ride some sportives and will be doing way of the roses over 2 days at the end of April.

Other than changing wheels in time what do people make of these and the offer.

Thanks Adie

    I picked one up 2nd hand at the end of last year for £200 (only done 100 miles or so, total bargain).

    Cons Like you said the wheels are heavy and slow, but fine for a winter hack (which is why I got it).

    Over all bit on the heavy side, brakes can be a bit crp, fork is steel (I think, pros and cons)

    you can see where the money has been saved.

    Pros Loads of up grade potential as the frame is great- will take a rack/ MG's, good solid ride
