Messaging my brother all night... started with a message yesterday as he was looking to get a bike. Credit to him, he has found one up for sale from a farm in a very posh place of Cheshire (with cow poo in the background etc).
It's a Carrera Vengeance, my son has one, and I know these bikes back to front. It's a good price - too many folk are asking silly money - 2/3rds new, for a well worn bike. I have said I'll take them in the van (dad and son - morning out)..
It will need work, and my brother's son's bike needs a gear cable change. Thing is, my brother is a dentist.. he's sorted out my son and daughter with treatment as we are family - our local dentist dumped the NHS clients. My brother is die-hard I am staying NHS, especially where he delivers his services, so I'm more than happy to help get him a cheap bike - TBH he could get a new one, but it won't get used enough.
