Wanted: Hack road bike (geared)

Posted on
  • Sorry it's not ss or fg, but I need to get a hack road bike (geared, complete) sorted out for commuting around London. Open to a complete beater, or a nicer frame that has seen better days. Would like STI shifters rather than anything too retro on the gearing front though. Frame size around 55 or 56cm, budget up to £200. Cheers!

  • Try Bikeworks in East London, near Victoria Park.
    Picked up a Falcon seven speed for £75 earlier this month

  • I have a Raleigh road/tourer. Needs some new bearings in the front wheel, maybe new bearings in the headset. It looks great and vintage, but isn't worth stealing. Will get some pictures tonight for you.

  • Just giving this a little bump, as I've not found anything yet, and could do with getting it sorted out soonish. Thanks.

  • Another bump, as I'm selling the hybrid I bought as a stop gap, and need a hack road bike again for rainy days when the Bob Jackson stays warm and dry at home. Same details as before, looking for a:

    • Complete (or as close to) geared road bike
    • STI shifters if possible
    • 55 or 56cm
    • Budget up to £200

    Thanks!

  • Have you tried Bikeworks?

  • I live South (Brixton/Herne Hill), so Bikeworks is unfortunately on the edge of being a far away to go on the off chance just yet.

  • got one for you - genesis day, with armadillo tires, plus original as spare, white race face grips, 2 locks and a foot pump, my flatmate left the country and asked that i sell it, can post an actual pic tomorrow...

  • Thanks, but I'm really after something with drops, rather than a flat bar, so that I can swap around components with my other bikes if needed.

    I could change my mind if it was silly cheap though ;)

  • ok, how much would you want it for?

    also my mate has a viking vk 500 58cm, 14spd, not too sure of the componets, will take a pic for you... might be too big for you though, he only wants around £100

    or i'm selling a single speed bmw park bike for £1000 =)

  • I've mailed you with two offers, and possibly have more....
