Wow..I'm chuffed to bits with my new winter hack, coaster brake and hub gears
Saracen Pylon 2 - http://www.bikes2udirect.com/B2168.html
£52 off eBay in what seems to be near perfect nick (apart from some scuffs to the saddle covered by a horrid great gel cover, but I got a nice new Ridgeback branded leather-look saddle for a fiver from eBay a couple of weeks ago)
Now to learn coaster brakes, nearly fell off twice on a quick spin up and down the street.
Silly ballon tyres though, old cruiser throwbacks - I'm hoping a mate had taken my 1.5 slicks off his bike before it got nicked - and the gearing seems a bit high for Sheffield, might have to source a slightly smaller chainset
Glad I was skiving at 9.30 this morning, perfectly timed. I did buy with the intention of servicing and selling on but I think I want to keep it...
