Wanted: 2nd hand bike anyone - for lady - 5'9'' - GBP250

Wanted
**
Second hand bike for 5'9'' female**
A friend had her hybrid nicked and I might be able to persuade her to go single speed.

If anyone has a bike that would suit a woman rider (I put that in for you Skully if you are reading this post) who is 5'9'' and whose previous bike was a 20'' hybrid please post here or PM

A hybrid, SS or road bike - man's frame preferred
**
Budget
GBP250 **possibly a tiny bit more.

Location
South or East is best but "WTM"

All help any suggestions are received with thanks.

Ive got an old BSA womens bike that can be had for £40 collected..... That leaves you plenty monies to finish as desired..... I'm near Stansted airport on the Liverpool St line

Stedlocks - thanks - any pics?
I suspect it may too much of "project" but thanks for posting

maybe this will fit?

Hi,
I might be persuaded to put this back on the market, although it is now a lot dirtier than in these pics and has black porteur bars and modolo stem fitted.

http://www.lfgss.com/thread48683.html

It is actually lovely to ride and would fit her perfectly. Could poss ride it into town, but better to come out west to see it, cos bits can then be swapped if required (I still have the bar/stem comnbo in the pics)

Let me know.
Cheers,
Gav

It depends what she wants..... Pics in a minute

There you go

A friend of mine would be interested in this (assuming Arvy doesn't take it of course).
What's the actual size? She's 5'7 so I'm presuming it'd probably fit. Does it need much work?

Cheers

It needs 2 nuts on the brakes..... I robbed them for another bike .... That's it. A strip down, lube up and perhaps some new tyres and a good clean....... Perfect for another 30 years or so ;0)

repairs completed- 7 speed, dynamo, inbuilt lock, new rear wheel, new grips, new twist grip, new brake blocks, pannier rack, has cable eyes etc for changing to a double or triple chainset.

Special feature: lard ass saddle

Nice and light as its alu, Dutch style

Make me an offer.............can deliver if required for a "consideration"....

Ad441 you are free to do as you wish - I've had a bit more of a chat and my mate is clearly looking for a man's bike

Gav/Peter - I'll be in touch tomorrow

No worries arvy, its over to you ad!

Make me an offer.............can deliver if required for a "consideration"....

Any suggestions of what sort of price you're after? I've really no idea for a bike like this...

Both of them look suitable, but as the aluminium one's got a rack and stuff already, it'd save me some trouble. Where are you Diablo? If there's any way she could try it first, that'd definitely help.

(and sorry for hijacking your thread Arvy).

Hijack is hardly the word - if it means you get a bike, everyone has done well.
I have put my friend in touch with Gav/Peter and hopefully a bike can be secured.

Thanks again for you all your help.

Arvy thanks for the heads up - I have a women's Raleigh Caprice which I have done up, greased with Mavic wheels which I want to sell for a forum friendly price of £95.
Let me know if anyone wants to see any pics

Obviously yet again, first refusal goes to Arvy, but would love to see photos - how big is it and are you in London?

The Miyata is still available, it is a bit too big for Arvy's friend
