Default Canadian in Auckland, need bike

sorry if this is the wrong section for posting.

I landed in NZ 2 days ago and still looking for a road bike to get around.
There is a couple on trademe but nothing around 60cm (Im 6'2)

Best bike would something like a '80 roady, steel frame, shimano 105 and above. I would be in NZ for 4-5 months so anything too nice would be useless to me.

oh, you can send email to baril_mathieu@hotmail.com

thanks, mathieu

Just steal one. Kiwis are really backward and trusting and are unlikely to lock their bikes. If you steal one the probably won't report it to the cops for a few days thinking someone has just borrowed it. Just make sure that the owner isn't a 150kg back rower for the all blacks and you'll be laughing.

Don't forget to ride it like you stole it, cause you did!

There is a bike shop in town called Adventure Cycles that sometimes has a lot of second hand bikes. They may be able to hook you up with a bike.
