Road Bike on the slimmest of budgets

tango kid- You can send it via courier for about £20 depending on the weight - if you search the forum you'll find threads posted about it.

Can I also spread a word of caution about ebay and gumtree...

If a bike is a ridiculous bargain- beware of it being stolen, I've had several bikes stolen that have then appeared on those sites.

Don't buy if it;s dodgy or potentially dodgy - you're fuelling the industry of bike theft.

May I ask what you've been able to do once you've discovered them?

OT but there's threads a few years ago about the stolen Specialized Ruby on here- two bikes stolen within months of each other and you can read about the unhelpful and incompetent Met police there.

Nothing in short to answer your question- watched the bloody things be sold..twice, hence a bargain, too good to be true and a generic advert on gumtree/ebay...always check that the owner can give evidence that the bike belongs to them.

He has said this about the size of the bike, what sort of size person would this fit??

centre of crank to top ofseat tube is 20inches - 50.5cm from ground to top of cross bar is 29inches - 74 cm centre of seat tube to centre of handlebar tube is 21inches - 50cm centre of crank to rear axle is 15 3/ inches 40cm

And Moss, do you have a link to a website to show what the bike looks like/is?? And what sort of size your daughter's partner is if it fits him?? Also, what would he say about postage given that i live in yorkshire??

Mike,

if you type Decathlon Cycles in to Google they will find the shop! I'd say a 54cm, would suit a 5ft.6in to a 5ft,10in person, or anywhere inbetween! Re, postage? Contact Matthew on the email I posted. But I'm sure they could arrange postage for you.
