The OCR is located about 30 miles from me. I have emailed so if it's not sold i will go and have a look. Is there anything i should look for ?

Just check for trueness of wheels any sign of crash damage and check around all the joins of the bike for any cracks. Even a slight hairline crack in the paint work around these areas could mean a damage frame. And take it for a spin to see if it's comfortable and the right size.

Mags just seen this on wiggle if your budget would stretch to it. wiggle.co.uk According to their sizing chart you need a X-small.

That was an SCR4, yes? I hired an SCR3 last season and it was fine. A bit impersonal, but fine.

magbag - for £200 you could do a lot worse than getting yourself to a Decathlon store. They have some road bikes starting from about £140, the one for £200 is pretty good spec for the price.
