Chunky 1 replied to Andrew Bentley's discussion Road / Race Bike Needed!?"Hi Andrew,
Have a look in the small ads in your local Morrisons etc, usually find them there.
Check out ebay, I got mine £135 like new, they are out there if you look hard enough.
Good luck with the event"
Andrew Bentley replied to Andrew Bentley's discussion Road / Race Bike Needed!?"Thanks for the suggestions fellas, I think I will buy a racer then sell it on after the event. Assuming I dont get bitten by the road race bug - heaven forbid?!? Many thanks. "
