Hey there folks. I have had only two bikes for the weekend having sold my single speed on friday and I already feel naked! My GF is moving to a flat in Bayswater which doesnt let bikes in and only has very sketchy bike parking so I will be needing something theft proof to get me from train station to hers and around London at weekends....anyone got anything going?

Looking for anything between a 54cm and 57cm frame/TT measurement

Either a cheap/free ratty frame or a complete bike for sub 100 pounds that will roll but look like tynans special theft proof paste has some spokes sticking out of it...Thanks!

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
