Show us your decent bike disguised as a crappy bike.

That looks nifty, seems a better deal for someone my size 6.3 ft than the bickerton I'm promised.

£30 and it's yours. If I have to polish off the surface rust it's an extra tenner.

Alternatively I'd have a look at the Dawes Kingpin Group and/or Modified Small Wheelers groups on FB. Top end ones are about £80-100 and can suit pretty much any height. I just don't need two of them. Or rather I'd like a non-folder and a folding variety.

Pulled both of the Dawes Kingpins out today; they've been sat unused for a while and I've got to decide what I do with one/both of them. One is built up, the other part-built and stalled. I may sell both / sell the silver one / strip the silver one and put some of the bits on the purple one.

Connected to the thread - this all works well but looks worse for wear with visible rust and flaking silver paint:

I'd nick that to just to set a fire in the rack bag and ride naked through MacDonalds Drive-Thru singing 'Meat is Murder' by the Smiths.

I'll see what comes along but dawes i didnt know they produced foldies. regarding others: I have a story about my first foldie, brand new, cant remember what model it was blue lol, in a new house, new location.
I went to work on it brilliant stuff, headed home, next up a roundabout and aggressive drivers forced me onto a downward sliproad onto a motorway! I was only new to the area etc. I realised this about 2 seconds in before i was to hit the motorway. So i banked it, only thing i could do to stay safe and had to crawl uphill on the embankment with the thing, then over barbed wire into a field of cows which looked curiously at me i remember , to get back on the normal road. So i was nearly the first foldie on the major motorway happily it was just the bike!

Fond memories safety first lmao!

Corrected that for you.
