Bought this Dawes Impulse from @clevermuscle exactly one month ago as a commuter / starter bike.
Then on Monday night a car pulls across the cycle superhighway in Whitechapel leaving me nowhere to go except splat into his front door. The down tube has buckled so the frame is a write-off, along with the handlebars. Miraculously everything else survived (the guys at Paradise Cycles were incredibly helpful in checking the bike out).
While I struggle to extract some cash from Abdul (almost certainly not his real name) I'm eager to get back on the road with a similar frame. Equally I'd be grateful for any advice on where I might source one and how much I should expect to pay. I'm probably willing to pay up for something pretty in decent condition.
