Hi all,
I hijacked Lukyskull's thread recently to sell this as it was so similar to the bike he sold, except for the colour. Seemed to make sense, although maybe it didn't get enough visibility as I still have the bike, and I need the room in my shed... There was some interest and someone's friend was supposed to buy it, but I have not heard from them so I guess they changed their mind...
So in brief, this is a very small girl's bike, for someone 5'3" -ish, tall child / small adult. It looks gorgeous, and comes from Belgium, that's a serious pedigree...
This was bought locally for £25 a few month back, the bike was more or less functional, but I've done the following to it:
-Really cool and stylish NOS tyres with white side walls miraculously found at Stratton Cycles, one of the last real LBS I can think of round that side of town now Holdsworth have closed down.
-New cable brakes
-General servicing / adjusting / greasing, oiling of the 3 speed sturmey archer hub, which was a bit reluctant changing gears before and now works perfectly.
About 20 miles have been done on that bike since it was refurbished. To cover costs I'd like **£50 **for it.
Collection in Peckham, or can arrange something in London within reason if that helps.
Loic

Bike now sold.

Nice meeting you too.
For alloy mudguards like these, I recommend Autosol, available in most Halfords... I used it on some velosolo battered mudguards and it worked amazingly.
I hope to see that bike ridden at some forum ride maybe!

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
