My f-in-l has just retired and decided he wants a bike.
He set a max budget of £150 and was going to go off to Halfords for a BSO made out of lead.
Managed to persuade him otherwise and won him a nice 94ish STX Clockwork on ebay - that's me, him and the missus on Oranges now!
He'll no doubt moan about it being old, but at least I know he's got a better steed than he would have ended up with had he been left to his own devices!
