Apologies for adding to the irritating list of wanted ads but my housemate is after a bike. She's 5"2 and want a step through frame without drop bars and not fixed gear, in good working order (although I could do some work on a bike if it really needed it). We're in brixton but happy to collect in london or pay postage for the right bike. Please let me know if you've anything that might fit the bill,
cheers all.

Obviously you may have posted here to avoid using ebay, but it seem's to be a good source for older womens bikes, I've seen old raleigh mixtes in good working condition go for about £30. They seem alot less in demand than old horizontal top-tube racers etc.

I figured I'm less likely to end up with a bike in a shitty condition here than on ebay. cheers TBTRN, any pics? does Tlc mean all the bearings are rough and need replacing or just need brakes adjusting, some new pads n cables type of thing?

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

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