Purveyor of fine nonsense
He he!
I wanted a crap, cheap bike to ride to the gym on and to town and back on, because I am not going to take a £1000 full-carbon road bike all of two miles into town and leave it chained to a lamp-post!
Anyway, I am now £41.76 poorer and the proud owner of the completely sh*t contraption that is attached to this post! The seller lives local so I will pop round and sling it in the back of the car (filthy beast) in due course.
It is a three-speed (sturmey-archer) and is a bit rusty round the edges. Apparently it is "ready to ride", so I bid on it. I have no idea what the frame size is; it looks about 18" or 20", which is fine.
The good thing is that it will never ever get nicked, because no bugger would be seen dead on it! I should think that if I chained it to a chav, he would pay me to take it away.
Even if the wheels and other bits are shot to buggery, hopefully the steel frame is a good 'un and can be rebuilt on, should I wish to do so.
Does anyone have any idea what it actually is?! (Anything that is not made of carbon fibre or aero-grade aluminium or titanium is a mystery to me!).
