Hey guys,
Firstly I apologise if this has already been asked, and I am sure that it has, but I have been trawling the forums and can't find the answer. If it has been asked it would be fantastic if someone could point me in the right direction...
I'm a commuter and ride about 7 miles to work each way every day. Recently spent a fortune on getting my bike serviced only to ruin all the hard work they had done the next day in the rain... So I am looking for a single speed bike to ride when it is wet, and also to be used as at the weekends as a pub bike/something not as expensive to leave locked up to a lamp post...
I am looking to spend around £200 maximum and have seen a plethora of options on Gumtree, however I really have no idea about older, vintage bikes. Is there any models you could suggest and perhaps models I should avoid? Any links to any suggestions would be fab. 6ft tall.
There seems to be an awful lot in my price range. But I am sure a lot of it is utter tosh...
Thank you
