Hi there,
I have recently been shown this bike and am considering purchasing it- I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it, or how much it might be worth? The original fork is still existing, but rusted so the picture shows a new fork.
The bike has been converted into single speed, although it still has original 2-rings chainset, cranks & pedals (which all have some wear & rust on the surface, but doesn't seem to be affecting the ride) and 5-speed rear wheel. Bike is equipped with new yellow Michelin Speedium tyres and a good-quality chain, also has new italian 'Benotto' handlebar tape.
Anyways they are asking for £180 with locks and other bits included... but aparently negotiable. I was thinking it might be worth £100-120.
Can someone please help? This will only be my second bike, and need some solid advice!
Thanks :)
