My friend is after a road bike - nothing flash, just lighter/more aero than her chunky commuter hybrid. She’s 5’6” so probably a 52 - medium ladies or small unisex/gents bike. Think her budget is up to £600.
Thanks!

Sara,
I have a 2011 BMC team machine SL in 53cm. It’s been my winter bike for a few years but I’m now in need of space. I’d need to give it a full check over but it’s was working fine last time I used it a year or so ago.
It’s in sram red and a pair of shimano wheels. It’s a little out of date but a very quick light bike. I fitted narrow 36cm bars to it as I have narrow shoulders.
Let me know what you think, I’d need a few days to prepare it for sale just to make sure it’s mint.
Thanks
Andy

Sounds promising! Where are you /bike based? Maybe she could come see it when ready? Do you have a price in mind? Thanks!

Currently stored in my Dads garage as we didn’t have space in our flat in east Dulwich.
Shall I pm you some pics?
I was looking for £800 but as a member or friend of member it’s hers for £600.
Landis won the tour on the same bike however he may have been chemically enhanced somewhat.
It’s a nice bike, rides super, awesome up hills. Yes carbon but cheap enough to insure that it should loose anyone any sleep if it was nicked.
It’s a shame it’s just sitting in garage.

Im about 5 foot 7 ish and it’s got tons of adjustment either way.
Let me know if that rules it out on size though.
Thanks

Let me pass on on that info! Where’s your dads garage? Or would you get it to ED?

Sorry, what meant was if it’s high potential I’ll pick it up and bring it back for viewing at our place in east dulwich.

hey just to say that if your friend doesn't want it in the end Sara, this could be a good option for me if not. Thanks!
