Wanted: Full Bike £100ish

Posted on
  • Alright you lot,

    A mate has just moved to Londons trendy London and is in need of some transport.

    He keeps on pesting me to go down to Brick Lane with him to buy a bike, but obviously I would rather avoid that.

    He has £100 to spend and understands that it won't get him anything beautiful.
    He is about 5ft 10", and so I am guessing anything from 58-60cm ST would do the trick.

    So, what have you got...?

  • I'm also after a shortish (60mm) oversized stem for a different project if anyone can help with that...?

    31.8mm clamp size.

  • He'd be better off with something 56-57cm. 60cm is definitely too big for someone who is 5'10".

  • Bike thieves ARE Scum !

    That said, some of the traders down Brick Lane are legit, they're not all tea -leafs. I know if new to London it can be difficult to tell which is which. But there are some honest traders there, pity to tar everybody with the same brush.

  • He'd be better off with something 56-57cm. 60cm is definitely too big for someone who is 5'10".

    Really? I'm 5ft 9" and my 57cm c-t-c fits me perfick.

    Anyone got owt...?

  • I'm 5'9 built like a plucking t-rex and ride a 55/55 with a 60mm stem lol (and even then, its a few mm long)

    Just goes to show.
    TBH in LDN, £100 bikes that are decent and not previously stolen are a bit of a wonder

  • Falcon touring bike any good?

  • I have a 2009 57cm Gary Fisher Titan With straight bars, my son found it a tad large and he's 5'10"
    i've sold the wheels but he can have everything else for £70

    Cheers
