Looking for a bike for my sister.

Hi all,

Sister's started a new job and I said I'd look out for a bike for her to commute on. Looking for something decent and reliable, but not over the top or particularly special. Just a solid bike. Happy for it to not be in the best nic, as I'll give it a full service.

I'd guess something 55-57cm(ish). Preferably a road bike, but doesn't have to be a ladies bike as such.

Based in Sussex, but able to either pay postage or arrange collection in the area or up to London.

Cheers in advance.

Hi there,

What do you think about a Pitango? See this ad for pictures and details: https://my.gumtree.com/postad/c44058f064674e8d8aa146257035e5e9

The bikes are very solid and very light. I can offer you a good price if you are able to collect it. Your sister can choose the color combination.

Just let me know if you're looking for something like this.

Cheers

Hi there, I am moving so trying to sell my commuter's bike. Solid bike, originally custom build by a friend. Really good condition.

A little time sensitive as my moveout date is looming.

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 >

Mention another user by @username

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

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
