Wanted: Cheap as possible bike beater

Posted on
  • I'm absolutely fucking broke and rent aint getting paid this month.
    I need to get to work and TFL the robbing bastards are going to charge me £80 for the privilege.
    If I could get a bike that rolls and will get me 10 miles and back each day for less than that I'll be a little on my way to not becoming homeless
    thanks guys.

    Any size,shape,colour, not bothered. so long as it goes
    would also rent a bike from someone if they have several unused

  • How tall are you Phil/what size frame do you normally ride?

    I know you're not fussy right now, but need a ballpark number.

  • I'm about 6"1 so a 58cm but anything from 54 to 60 will do

  • Do you know your measurements i) from the centre of the bottom bracket to the saddle rails and ii) total length of the top tube and stem?

  • I don't know bb to saddle unfortunately
    I usually use about a 90mm stem on a 58tt
    Sorry I'm not very helpful haha

  • Oh and forgot to mention if someone should rent me a bike, it is kept indoors and secured both at work and at home.

  • Can stretch to £100 I guess if that helps

  • Keep your money in your pocket and bear with me...

  • You could try a wanted ad on https://www.freecycle.org - I recently got a useable crappy old mountain bike for a friend like this, it only needed a new chain.

  • Alright, thank you my friend!

  • Check your PM's

  • Thank you, should be sorted now though.
