Wanted: SS/ fixed bike to get me to work and back

Posted on
  • I had my bike stolen yesterday and I was just about to start cycling to work.. My journey is 4 and a bit miles each way so I just need a reliable bike to replace the one I just lost.

    I was riding a charge plug freestyler size small, I'm 5'7, female. Has anyone got a bike for sale for around £100-£200, possibly a bit more depending on what you are offering. I'm not too fussed on colour/age etc at this point, just want to avoid having to get the tube to work, I would prefer a flip flop hub as I plan to move on to fixed in the near future.

    I live in East, work in Islington and could meet up after work one day. I really want to get cycling asap and forget about how stupid I was not to insure my other bike!

    Thanks.

  • Sorry for your loss. I have this available - used, but not much mileage, and seems to fit your requirements - altho you didn't specify whether you'd be happy with drop bars. Let me know if it's of interest.

  • Cazakstan, if that bike is good for you, then fine. But you might keep your options a little bit open and give Edwardes of Camberwell (Cycles) a call. They do some secondhand bikes, and some are singlespeed. I've seen some there well within in your price range.

    Sorry about your stolen bike.

    With the new bike, try either different locking methods, or different locks. Try the LOCKS THAT WORK thread - first post.

  • @GA2G, I never locked the bikes but they were locked with two Abus Granite 54 locks through frames and railings.. normally a chain would be involved too. I have read through the thread you recommend and it is defintely useful, I will be more careful about where I lock the new one and needless to say no one will be borrowing it haha!

    hey man, just out of interest, how much would you be charging for that bike? and what size is it?

  • Still looking
