Wanted: A fine bike for my fine lady

As title says,

Preferably something pretty, and she isnt a huge fan of rust

I showed her this...

from littigator, but somebody got in there first! (now she isnt talking to me)

Show me what you got!

What budget do you have and what size are you looking for?

shes 5/4 5/5

so i reckon a around a 50cm frame (prefferably with dropped lady style top bar, as above),

around 100 mark, though will go up to 150 if its good

Might not be what you're after, but I've got an old Raleigh that I bought my girlfriend. She's 5'7" and found it a bit small (but she likes bigger frames) so I'm selling. The guy I bought it off restored it. Sorry for bad image. I can take some more tomorrow if you're interested. You can have it for £100 (saddle cover included - whoop)

yea thats a tasty bike.. if you could take some close up pics that would be great
is it in good, ready to ride order? brakes, true wheels etc?

also, a rough floor to saddle height might be useful too

cheers

Peter, I have a friend who would probably be all over that. 2nd dibs if Alex backs out?

there are some closeups. Floor to seat is 90cm. Your girlfriends aversion to rust might be tested with those rims. Apart from that she's good to go. I rode her back from Euston to Hackney and it was fine. Only issue is that my gf is changing her mind saying she might like to keep it until we find a new one (literally just told me). I'll let you know tomorrow if its still up for grabs.

yea, let me know if she wants to keep it or not..

Im based in whitechapel / clapton as of next week, so can easy ride over to Hackney to have a good look / collect.

the rim rust doesnt look like anything too bad to me

She now wants to keep it for a few weeks. We're going away for a while so if you're still looking May 1st we'll probably have a new one for her by then. Sorry for the time waste. Good luck with the search.

also, the rust in the picture is probably the worst area of it, so I can't see a problem there.

i have one that i started for my Missis but its too big for her, needs breaks sorting + a chain, its an old pug just want what i payed out which is £80
