Some good tubes/tires/tuning and it's probably a great bike for weekend use.
The other option was a folding bike for 149

and I'd ride and from the station. Every weekend, I'll be leaving work at 5pm every Friday and taking the train down to London and leaving for back up North at 6pm on Monday morning
then I can get some more rides in over the week
Now I don't ride trains and I've never tried a folding bike, but I've always
imagined that ... a folding bike is the only way to go, train or bus, or if you frequent some shops along the way. You have the SS already in England right? So you
need a folding bike. I wonder if you can get that fitted with a dynamo
