I currently commute 12 miles each way on a Triban 120 which I keep having issues with so looking for something cheap, performant and reliable.

    My commute is mostly decent road with a mile or two of potholes / surface gravel.

    I saw this listing (description at the bottom) and it seems to my untrained eye to be a good deal.

    Am I way off the mark here?

    Appreciate anyone's insight.

    1. 56cm frames do not fit 6’2. Unless you do some serious racing or the geometry is just funky, a 56cm is too small for anyone over 6’.

      Otherwise this is probably a pretty good deal.

    2. Check the tyres don’t rub anywhere as they seem quite wide for a frame that age, but otherwise it seems ok, though try and knock them down a bit as its top end price wise.

      Edit- you want minimum a 3mm gap, preferably 5, all around the tyre
