I only need brakes and cables. Any recomendation of cheap brakes that will work with wide tyres?
I've been looking at wiggle but all of them are at least 40€. Which is almost the price of the bike.Buy used brakes then? A full set of decent old V-brakes should fit around wide tyres , and not cost too much.
That said, just because the bike was bought cheap, it doesn't mean that everything you put on it has to cost a lot less than it.
I come across similar sentiments when people buy nice old-ish cars (like '80s Mercs and BMWs) - they balk at buying new dealer-price parts for them on the grounds that the car only cost them only a couple of grand, forgetting that the cars were like forty or fifty grand new.
This attitude puzzles me.
Mr_B-
Not even sure if I'll buy it.
ATM I've 3 bikes at my home.
I can have 4 maximum.
In 2-3 weeks my velodrome bike is coming home since the velodrome is shutting down for 5 months.
So, 4 bikes ok, 5 bikes no :(
I could try to buy new bike rack and see if I can fit 5 bikes but not really sure what to do now, as I don't really need a new bike...

About to buy this:
55€ without tyres or 75€ including tyres. No photos of tyres so not sure if I'll buy.
Not sure what I'd do with this really.
