road bike

**SOLD** Purchased new in 2015, I've enjoyed just one outing on this quality full carbon frame road bike. Not long after I bought it, I did a few laps of Knockhill Circuit clocking up 10.73 miles in total. And that's been it. The rest of the time it has been carefully kept indoors in my...

Well it's been over two weeks since I last took out the road bike. Not much on the trail bikes either because lots of projects around the house. Looking to put it on the market in the future, so riding took a back seat. So today I just had to get out and I was eager to pull out the road bike for...

Dear cyclist, I own a road race bike and it's fitted with a toeclip pedal, the problem is that this toeclip is a real hustle to get in and out of which I often have to because I live in the city and therefore I was thinking about buying flat pedals. The problem is that I am on quite a tight...

I currently ride a recumbent trike but looking at getting back into uprights. I've got a specialized tricross in the shed but I'd like something a bit faster and also I think it's too big for me. I'm 5ft 2", the tricross is a men's bike and is 49cm and I find the reach a bit long. I sat on a...

It's been just a tad under 3 months since my last time on the road bike. I've had a blast playing on the trails this winter, but right now they are a mess. So after voting today it was time to dust off the road bike and roll out a nice 20 mile ride. It was great to be back in the saddle and...

My Ian May is up for grabs again - I'm trying to move on some of the bikes I don't get a chance to ride and am hoping to find a home for this beautiful vintage road bike. Fully restored last year by myself, the details of which are in my restoration thread here! For those in a hurry, the short...

Hi. I've been enjoying the old Mtb of late. Its heavy cumbersome and slow compared to my road bike, but saying that it does have alot of positives. Even though i ride alot slower i can still cover decent mileages in comfort. In fact i would say its more comfortable than the road bike. With the...

Im doing Pedal for Scotland and thinking of cycling back via the union canal & forth & clyde canals. (This will make a nice even 100mile round trip.) I cycle parts of the F&C canal everyday no problem but I've heard the union canal is different (poorer) and on the canals website it says...

I'm in the market for another road bike. Why While I've had many enjoyable years doing well over 100,000km on the Vivente World Randonneur touring bike I use for commuting, this year I've been using my Specialized Roubaix Expert SL4 (2013 model) road bike for commuting. This is mainly because I...

Just seen an unusual oldish giant bike. It had carbon tubes bonded onto alloy bosses/lugs.Thought it was quite unusual and great looking.The carbon tubes did not appear coloured maybe just lacquered.

On the way home today, noticed a cyclist riding what I at first took to be a hand cranked bike, but when I met him at some lights, he was riding a 'regular road bike, but with a full cassette & chain setup drive to the front wheel. It was powered by a crank / handlebar setup and looked pretty...

It’s my BSA Tour de France from the mid 1980s, and my first road bike. I really haven’t got the time or inclination to do a full resto, so I’m going to convert it to single speed, when I get time.

Everything you need know is here and here £150.00 to you. Just about covers what I spent on it. Based in South Oxfordshire, will pack and post.

One of these, middling condition, at the tip. Didn't manage a pic, but are these any good? Going to be a tenner or less, probably. Not that I've got anywhere to store it or work on it...
