Friend is looking for a steel mixte/step-through (though doesn't have to be) vintage-y commuter (with gears) for riding around London. Something light and something that can take panniers/racks/guards.

49-50 cm (if mens bike)
50-53 (if ladies)

For someone about 5'6".

Cheap.

What have you got?

cheers, looks fun but maybe a bit too pricey for us.

Not vintage but my friend's 'old' bike is taking up space in my garage. not in London but could potentially drive to High Barnet tube on a Sat or Sun. fully serviced, hubs run smooth, no gnarlyness in the BB, brakes and gears all good (21 speed STI), minimal wear on rims, new front Schwalbe, rear is hardly used.
Not heavy for its type, pannier rack mounts are fairly low on the seat stays but you can fit a rack.
£70 + £6 to cover diesel, prefer if you came to N.Herts but appreciate that's not an option.

Formatting Help

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:

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

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

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