Hey,
I'm new to this website and entirely new to the idea of a road bike, or bikes in general to be honest, so please be patient with my lack of knowledge . I've had my size checked and that's it really.
Anyway I have an extremely tight budget and would like to know what you guys think of these bikes! Yes I realise for at an absolute maximum £250 isn't going to get me anything great but I need to work with it. Given the budget I have the older models are the only ones I can get really and I have took a huge liking to peugeot bikes, as I think the aesthetics are brilliant and the rest of Internet seems to like them as bikes
Anyway what I would like to know is...are these bikes good (good is a subjective word but roll with it ) and would they be worth the cost? (With £27 on top for a courier) ( And perhaps if i should make some minor adjustments to them but i dont want to restore these bikes, but any cheap adjustments that may be worth it. )
I have established this is a peugeot competition 5000, correct me if I'm wrong please. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-allum ... 2a2f7f8041 I was thinking of paying max 120 (147 with courier)
And the other one with looks in better nick but I can't really tell as a novice
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-Cours ... 58a2bf8057
I was thinking max 220 (247 with courier)
Sorry for the short notice but I would like a prompt rely as they end in a couple of days even if they've expired please tell me what you think to broaden my knowledge, cheers
