Hi all apologies if my very first post is breaking the forum rules but don't think I can post in the for sale/buy section. i have joined as really looking to get my first road bike and everything seems to be pointing to the t3 (with my limited budget anyhow!) im 5ft 10 so sounds like 57 frame is about right?? will be doing the usual e bay scouring but if anyone is upgrading and wants to sell their bike to a loving good home so it will be well looked after, as well as introducing someone to the world of cycling I really would appreciate a heads up. thanks paul

I just picked up a triban 3 57cm from a chap in west brom for a stupidly cheap price of £135! When I was looking most seemed to be up north! There's a good looking one on eBay in Stockport

I found the pictures in the other thread. It looks very nice with lots of scope for upgrading.

I thought a 54 would suit me best and the one I bought was advertised as a 54! I've only done 20 miles on it so far but it seems as though I'll be comfortable on it! I tried a 54cm white 300 in the store and would have had to have the saddle fairly high! Will just see how I get on over the coming weeks

The white T300 is a bargain at £250 at the moment, not sure if there are any size 57 available, worth checking in the stores.

Well, I'm still looking Almost considering giving up and trying something else Appreciate it might be heresy but anyone have suggestions on similar first time bikes that I may be able to pick up relatively cheap on eBay I.e. Sub £150. If not just going to have to wait until can afford new t3
