Hi i have a make who needs a bike but unfortunately has very little spare cash. Looking for something around 18 inch and mostly complete. He is competent at setting bikes up and i have a load of spares so doesn't matter if its a bit shonky or needs a wheel here and there. Looking for something very cheap as i'm probably buying it! I can arrange courier if that helps? I.ve got my eye on something on ebay so might be sorted but in the meantime, whats out there?
Cheap bike or most of a bike

Just won a Marin Hawk Hill for my mate who has now decided he doesn't want it :roll: :evil:
He's looking to get back what he paid so it's £64 + postage.
Think it's about a '97 and it's yellow. Forks need attention but rest of the bike is in really quite good nick.

Cool. Some good offers. I think the diamond back might be a bit big, the ddg isn't really suitable. The mesa offer looks and sounds great but is a more than i can spare. Marin sounds interesting. What fork is it? Anything else?

Not sure what fork it is but I guess it's lower end judging by the rest of the gear. Tidy condition though.
Not sure of the size but it looks around on 18". Can get proper measurements etc + pics if required.
