Wanted: Bicycle, mountain.

Anyone got or know where there's a bike for sale, around Portsmouth preferably?

 

Need a mountain bike, ideally front suspension but not rear.

I'm 5'11" with 32" inside leg, I don't know about sizes but does that mean I need a 26" frame?

 

Nothing too fancy, cheaper the better! :D

Pop in to halfords they have some cheap bikes for doing what you need. If its jsut for road use why add extra weight with suspension ?

 

Cos it looks nice! :D

It is more comfortable as well.

 

Don't fancy getting a new bike, cause every time I've bought a cheap new bike it's been pants, the tyres go flat or something stupid. Prefer to get one that someone's owned and is working.

may be worth searching for a 'Hybrid' bike for your purposes......you'll get more for your money than getting a mountain bike and it will be easier on you when on the road.

 

i wouldn't necessarily specify hybrid as they tend to be more expensive and there's less of them.

 

the main difference is the tyres which are obviously interchangable anyway :)

I have a Saracen Rufftrax aswell in pristine condition. Bought about 3 years back for well over £350, hardly driven, new tread on the tyres, 20000 spoke alloy wheels, front suspension, leather seat and rear wheel drive with 21 gears etc etc.

 

Its black with a bit of yellow and red. Let me know if you are interested :)

decent bike that Tom.

 

had the very same one until it was knicked, then kindly replaced by the insurance company for the newer model (well, after i handed them my £50 excess!)

 

Oh really? my mate said this one came from Scotland :shock:

Very nice, definitely would if I could spare that much. Just a bit too much to be spending! I want it really cheap, so cheap that I won't feel a need to lock it up at work! :D

try this website mate, the sale section has all last years models and they're dirt cheap, it'll also work out what size frame you need to.

 

I'll have a look when my work internet isn't being ghey!! :rolleyes:

£99?

They're £180 new on some sites I've seen! ;)

So 3 years, depreciation of 30% from current price.... £60!! :thumbs:

 

In PM negotiations with tqts to swap his bike for my sub and amps (effective £50 for bike) but haven't seen a pic yet!
