Hey all, looking for a bike for the GF. The last one I bought her was 5 quid so probably need to spend a little more this time!

She's about 5foot 3 or so. She likes the vintage style step through road bikes or Mixtes ( i think )

I'm having trouble finding one thats legit or not crazily priced. I'm in the N16 area so somewhere nearish would be good.

Anyone know where to look or if you have something to sell drop me a line. I'm fairly mechanically able so if it's a bit rough I can fix it.

Cheers!

I took a long time to find the right frame for my GF (5' 4"). Found a nice Holdsworth mixte frame on here in the end after about 6 months of looking. Unless someone has something to offer, UTFS.

Go on gumtree, get an old peugeot, will take 700 c tires, find some new wheels, put on an ss freewheel cog, £70 quid, job done.

Got a light green double top-tube Peugot step-through. Has head-set and seat-post. £35?
Think it is around a 54cm.

Cheers dude. Great weather for a ride today. Had not noticed your planned one today, would have been nice to come and meet/ride with you all.

BTW, bike is sounding good as I have wheels/cranks/bars/brakes and a saddle.

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 >

Mention another user by @username

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

```
Your code goes here
```
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.
