Now sorted Thanks Wtd Bike under £100 for good cause

[stevevw]

A friend has asked me to help him find a bike for an underprivileged lad he knows. The lad is 16 years old, 5' 10-11" tall so I would have thought 56cm or equivalent would do the job. Any thing would be good old road bike, Hybrid or even a MTB on slicks

His bike has been stolen, he or his parents can not afford to buy another so my friend is willing to do so after he found out the lad was spending hours walking to school and other sporting activities in the evenings, showing a lot of determination to get places which unfortunately is not the norm with kids these days. I think his efforts are worth rewarding too so am more than willing to service the bike and make sure all is safe

I am in north Herts and my friend lives in Chiswick so any thing within 25 radius of each location would be good.

Thanks in advance to all you kind people.

Hi Steve, my pm's are playing up, but I have a nice Marin Bear Valley that just needs a service.....good, original condition....I was going to fettle it a bit and sell it on for more, but you can have that for £100....Its the matte black one from 92, I believe?

Cheers

A big thanks to you all for looking out bikes for me. I have just returned from collecting one fairly local to me that will do the trick once I have given it a service and a new pair of tyres. With luck I should be able to finish it of for delivery tomorrow evening and get the lad back on the road and we will have a few quid left to by him a hefty lock and chain.

Again thanks so much for your kind offers.

Steve
