56cm road bike ~£300

[zhang]

I'm after a road bike, preferably something with a modern groupset, or even a nice fixed gear. What have you guys got?

 

[bikenut2010]

When you say modern group set do you me STI ( handlebar combined gear and brake ) shifters?
Steel or aluminium frame set? Thanks

Yes preferably STI, or ergopower. No preferences for frame material as long as its reasonably light.

Well any good quality steel bike will be around 10-11 kg depending on components, an alloy frame with same components about 1kg less.
Is this any good? it's 57 though, Bianchi with Campagnolo Mirage, probably a bit more than 300 once I've fettled it.

Looks nice, what are the other specs (Wheels, tubing?) and what work does it need doing - I dont mind having a bit of a project.
I think Warwickshire could be a bit too far for me to drive to pick it up though.

Well it's in Italy at the moment! a guy I've bought a few bikes from before has it for sale
