Put slicks on it. It will be much easier to pedal.

Sad but true, I am on it every day looking lol. in fact I have it on now catching all the new adverts as they are placed

Put a "wanted" on Freecycle and make it clear that a doer upper would be welcome. Sometimes people have them in their sheds but don't think about getting rid unless you jog their mind in the right direction. Don't mention the MTB, just that you need a bike for work.

Is work not on cyclescheme?? Minimal amount a month could get you rolling! eg, my £500 a month spent equates to less than £30 a month coming out of wages obviously spend less and less comes out!! I know it opens a load of questions but i'm off out to work now so haven't got time to say more but there are threads around and info on http://www.cyclescheme.co.uk/. Hope thats food for thought.

Thanks yes, I have looked into this, but income wont allow any more deductions from the paltry wage,,lol

How are your span nearing skills?
Often lots of bits to be had for not,rather than whole bikes.
