I needed a bike to commute between St Pancras station and the office and as it would be living at the station did not want to spend too much money. Bought a bike for £20 of a mate and whilst the initial test ride indicated it might be a bit of a "fixer upper" it was only when I started using it in London I realized how utterly crap it was. The gears were shot and would jump off the cog at any gear change, the whole thing rattled alarmingly and bits started to drop off. After fiddling and fettling I gave up and started to use a Boris Bike ... which actually speeded up my commute time !
