Just so he can get to work and back, so nothng too taxing.

Budget about £300

I thought of the Triban as that's bang on budget but its out of stock.

He's 6' 4".

Any suggestions?

Carrera tdf from that there Halfords. Mate of mine has done loads of miles on his and it's been fine.

How far is the commute? He might be better on a hybrid...

My missus bought a triban , it's brilliant carbon forks and reasonable kit for a very good price.

Cool thing about decathlon is they allow you to ride the bikes around the shop to get a feel of them, which means you can get the size right and make sure they are ok before paying cash.

Found a Triban in his size in Warrington - so job done.

They seem unbeatable for the money
