Hi
this has come up on eBay,
http://lnk.nu/cgi.ebay.co.uk/1161.dll
just right for a big fella like moi. But as a bit of a single speed noob I'd be hugely grateful if you caste your collective eye over it and maybe suggest where the bidding should end. It's not standard, new wheels (or spokes at least) and the bars are not original, so I'm a bit concerned. As the new are around £500, I'm thinking £250-275 depending on the changes he's made.
I need the bike to sling on the train and get me around London (when I get there), it'll get chained places for maybe an hour or two during the day, so not new is good. And I'll be carrying portfolios and maybe small camera packs around, so it needs to be able to carry me (6'3" 200lbs) without turning into spaghetti.
Final point, please don't say it's a pile of poo and then buy it from under my nose; that just wouldn't be nice.
thanks!
