Bikes: Focus trash find commuter, Eddy Merckx Corsa, BP Stealth TT bike, Leader 720 TT bike, Boardman Comp Hybrid drop bar conversion, Quantec CX budget cyclocross build, SerottaNOS frameset ready to build up!

New commuter - an Orbea trekking bike, and very nice it is too!

Just picked this up on my local equivalent of Craigīs List. Itīs in very good condition, forgive the pictures as a) itīs dark and b) I havenīt cleaned the bike up.

Some of the specs: Deore LX, Dynamo hub, a reasonable halogen front light and a Standlicht rear, a decent rack, very nice Ergo grips, 3x8 with no wear on the chain, nearly new Schwalbe commuting tyres, a hateful front suspension fork (WHY????), aluminium frame, saddle seems OK-ish but will get swapped out for a Brooks ASAP, decent platform pedals, thatīs about it.

Itīs in my size (hooray!) and rides really nicely, just needs a new rear derailleur cable - which is probably why the seller advertised it as faulty.

Cost? €50. Oh happy day. Christmas just came early.
