Hybrid/Rigid MTB/90s MTB for missus

Posted on
  • Looking for a bike for the missus see we can tow the kids about and take bike rides to parks. She used to have a Sirrus before we had kids, but it got stolen. She's 5"6-5"7 so something 50-52cm would suit, as long as she can sit upright and there's clearance for at least 40mm tyres for a plush ride. Ideally not to pricey as it's just to get the kids about for days out. What you got? Willing to collect anywhere in London.

  • I've got an alloy framed ladies bike built from bits off an old boardman set up 11 speed Shimano metera if your interested?

  • I've got a small 90s Kona Fire Mountain. Pretty tatty but does a great job. Bombproof wheelset (XT/Hope Pro 2 to Mavic rims), rear rack.

    If you're interested then give me a shout and I'll dig it out for a photoshoot.

    Probably £125ish

    Edit: @swmlon

  • @Pedalpower @Quincy Will DM both

    I'm 5'7" and this Dawes I'm selling sounds perfect if you're still looking. £150 but will take offers.

  • Looks good, but was hoping for something with gears as I'll also be using it to tow trailer with the kids on board. I doubt I've the legs to do that without lower gearing. Glws

  • The single speed is already in a low-ish gear, but it actually already has a 6-cog cassette at the back and I have the rear derailleur that was on it before :) will be very straightforward to convert to a geared setup.

  • But I do understand if you aren't interested! No problem.

  • Ah, I didn't see that part of the post. I'll run in by the missus for the all important eyeball test and DM you. Thanks

  • Great - I do think it sounds ideal for what you're looking for, might just take a bit of fiddling about to get it perfect for use. I know the previous owner used it to cart children around! Anyway feel free to DM and like I say, happy to take offers.

  • EDIT: bike still available.

  • Morning. Still looking?

  • Yes, still on the hunt

  • Will pm.

  • Still looking, what's out there?
    Would add our budget is around the £100 mark, maybe more if it's fully ready to roll with mudguards and pannier attached, or if it's extra special and green. :)

  • I have this - bought it from @hanuman on here a couple of months or more ago for my son, and it turned out he wanted a road bike instead, so it’s been sat in the garage since. £90, which is what I paid for it.

  • Looks good, will drop you a PM this evening if it's still available, time to pack up and head to airport

  • Still looking

  • Still looking bump - Might also consider something a bitmore modern with disc brakes, though this might not be possible for my budget

  • PM’d you.

  • Just finished building up this one, probs not gonna ride it so up for grabs if you like..i'm 5'6 and it fits ok ;)
