@gazza81 i have this for sale https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/...mmuting-or-station-or-student-bike/1345598032

Just needs a good service

Not really what I'm looking for but thanks anyway

Well he said cassette, chain and headset are "pretty much new" and also he said the forks are "very rare" ?

Sounds good but I shouldn't value "very rare" much unless you're going to take them to the Antiques Roadshow, more important they actually work.

This is basically all the sellers have listed is what the bike is and the frame size they're cheap bikes I doubt the Sellers even know the specs.

Ok thanks guys giving me some food for thought I'll have a search for the older rigid style frame

That would just make me suspicious....as those bikes aren't that old

Right turns out the Marin wasn't all that it needed a new rear wheel too so I'm going to pass that one up

I'm looking at the felt one in a minute is had a new cassette and is only 120
it's a felt q520

Ask the seller if he can give you a copy of the receipt

Looks like was a sub £500 bike about 7 years ago. I wouldn't say a £20 new cassette is major maintenance. Check it had a new chain at the same time!

The chance of the seller having a receipt I should think is pretty slim but if it has some sort of ID number stamped somewhere you can perhaps check it against a local stolen bikes data base.
