Hello,
I am after a steel pub/town/shopping bike - either a sensible road bike (i.e. with 32c+ tyres and mudguards) or a large gents town bike (no SA hubs or rod brakes though please!). It will in all likelihood perennially live in the garage, and it's going to get knocked around in the stands in town, so nothing with fancy thin tubing - something like a lower-end 531 British bike from the 70s or 80s, or Peugeot Carbolite. It will probably get north road bars and racks either end, so nothing you're precious about!
It needs to be large - either 24" or 25" would be suitable.
I'm not too bothered about the aesthetic condition so long as it's okay mechanically.
I'd like to spend less than a hundred quid - and I live in York, so it'll need to be nearby or posted.
Cheers!
Lewis
