WANTED ASAP: second-hand cheap bicycle
September 16, 2013, 11:28:12 am
Hi All,

Last week my bicycle was stolen, so I need asap a new one. Anyone has one to sell?
I don't want something "professional", just a frame with two wheels. Something cheap.

If you have a bicycle in the garage full of dust that you don't use anymore please contact me.

Thanks!

Afternoon!

I've got an old Peugeot hybrid you can have for a few quid. I'm in Matlock area if that's any good to you.

Hi! Interesting.. how much exactly? Do you have a picture? Does it work properly or need some work?

Only problem, how can I take the bike? I'm from Sheffield and at the moment the only way of transport that I have are my feet.

Thank you.

got an old bmx you can have.

Edit - I'm Sharrow, Sheffield, it's nowt special at all, but heavy.  Probably not what your after as it sounds like you need to commute.

Thanks for the answer SamT, but I need a bike to go to Broomhill, Kelham Island and Abbeydale road. Quite far one from the other so a bmx is not my ideal solution. Anyway thank you.

It's not been out of my garage since I got a new one about 3 years ago. Probably still works, but will need a good service. PM me an email address and I'll take a pic tonight.

Likely to be up somewhere around Hathersage on Wednesday so could meet you somewhere if you're interested.

Only gonna want 20 quid or something for it

Cheers

Dave

Be useful to include your height Giuly so that you get offers of appropriately sized bikes.

Fair point, I'm 5'9" and it's OK for me, but I'll measure it too and give you the frame size.

Yes true, I forgot to write where I live and the height. I've already said where I'm living, about the height I'm 1.65cm (sorry, I don't know the imperial unit).

Thanks.

Think that's about 5'5 so it's probably going to be too big, but I'll have a measure anyway
