new ride
hi people my first time on something like this.i am buying an old mountain bike tomorrow for £30.it looks very nice.its got the rear brake down on the chainstays.oval chainrings,biopace i think.front cable is routed through handlebars.steel frame.its very nice and all for £30.its been powdercoated a nice light blue with yellow cables and bottle holder.it all works beautifully as its been owned by an enthusiast.luckily for me i live on the isle of wight and can pick up lots of bargains like this.bikes that would go for £150 in london cost £20-45 here.not sure of the make yet,but it looks quality.i will post pics soon.hopefully someone can tell me what it is.great site,keep it up.bye
