Cheapish Retro Mountain Bike (Can PX my fixed gear)

Posted on
  • Hey folks, as the title says, I'm looking for a cool looking retro mountain bike.

    Ideally looking to spend around £50, but would go up to £100 for the right bike.

    Something that would look cool with some big nobbly gumwalls and a neon yellow fork.

    Show me what you've got :)

    I can part exchange my fixed/free 25" oval-tubed raleigh (which i value at around £150):

    Thanks!

  • Possibly. It's a bit Barbie-ish haha. How much would you be looking for including the gears and mechs?

  • .

  • I'll pass thanks pal. Too much for me for what it is. Cheers anyway

  • Os this any good?
    It's not a Kilauea, but is a Cindercone repainted.
    It has a rubbish chainset and the forks don't have any bounce, but is has got an XTR M900 rear mech, nice XT front mech, Suntour thumbies and original bits on it....it's set up with a small cassette and slicks on, and is a good fit as pictured for me at 6' tall.
    I am after £120 collected for it, which is less than I paid in a moment of weakness a couple of months back. I'll be keeping the bottle cage for something else.
    I'm not looking for a swap for yours by the way ;0) straight sale

  • That's nice man. A bit more than I'm looking to spend but I could be tempted.

    I'm currently bidding on something on ebay, but if I fail to win that I will bear this in mind. I assume you're London-based?

  • Just outside, near Stansted airport. I can meet somewhere a bit closer,maybe, if it helps. I haven't actively put it up for sale yet, but need to clear some space! :0)

  • Hi, I have a Cannondale M300 collecting dust, this is a stock photo, but it's in the same orange scheme as this one, reckon the yellow forks you mention would look good:

  • I'd love a cannondale, but how much are you wanting for it buddy?

  • How about a Saracen s-stay?

    £100 collected? Need to make room for the next purchase...

  • Unfortunately guys, I won't be making any decisions until sunday at 7:45, when the bike I've bid on finishes on ebay. Not a fan of the Saracen i'm afraid though Spuds.. Ta :)

  • Okay I didn't win the bike I wanted, so I'm still after something!

    The cannondale looks too small (unless yours is a different size than the one pictured? @GreatSince78), the kona is a little too expensive as it sounds like it needs forks etc after buying it.

    But keep the offers coming please!

  • Thanks everyone but the search is over. I've just bought this on ebay. I think a bargain at £110 :)
