Hi Rusty,

Looks fine for £30, no rust, proper metal brake mechs. What are you going to use it for?

 

[Bman]

Looks in pretty good condition to me. I would ride it!

Welcome to the forum!

I think you got a pretty good buy for £30

Welcome to the forum!

Plus 1 on both counts.

And it's red, so it'll go faster....

Looks like a bargain for £30 and if you enjoy cycling and the bug bites it'l be the best £30 you've ever spent

Been to Halfords for mudguards and lights.

The saddle has a C on it and I think it's off a Carrerra. The new ones look the same. The tyres look the same.

I have a 5 mile ride across North Birmingham to B'ham City Uni at Perry Barr.

There's two steep hills at Brookvale park and Reservoir Road.

In 2 years you'll be buying a cheaper car so you can spend more on your next bike. Be warned!

£30? Bargain. Welcome, well done, have fun, tell us all about it!

Welcome Rustyspoke. That is probably the best £30 you will ever spend in your life. Use it, and see how it goes. Happy rides.

put on the mudguards and lights and went to Sutton park.

Wasted my money on the lights. They are going back tonight. Not bright enough.

I need 1 hour each day of bright headlamp. I'll go to B&Q by the Spitfire Island tonight.

must dash.

He's my dad.

He bought me a 17" MacBook Pro to get me through my IB at 6th form and Uni in September, so I bought the bike off him for a bargain sum of £30. He bought a bottle of Chanel Aftershave with it. I gave him a poor Xmas present, so were even now :-)

He showed me this forum before Xmas and I registered then and did nothing because I walk to college. I've been offerd a place at a local Uni, I could cycle there.

If you are reading this Dad, I NEED an iPad... ;-)
