I'm an MTB'er, I haven't owned a road bike in something like 35 years.
Anyway, my son is a keen roadie and I keep pondering whether I should get myself a road bike. If I did, it would (obviously) have to be retro, but it would also have to be light (I recently serviced a BSA Weekender that weighed more than my car!), lastly I don't want to spend too much on a first attempt.
So, some suggestions of what to look for please, and also some advice on size, as I'm just a nudge over 6' 1" with around a 34" inside leg.
