[REQUEST] Cheap Bike?

ucd_guy

I'm cross posting this in the cycling forum as well!

Anyone know where I can pick up a cheap bike in Dublin? I need to pick up one for commuting to work every day, and funds are a bit tight at the moment!

Halfords have a few but they all seem to have suspension and suspension on a cheap road bike will wreck your head (all it does is sap your energy).

Do-more

Merlin Car Auctions run a "no reserve" bike auction on behalf of the Gardai every so often, I think it normally takes place at Kevin Street Garda Barracks.

They sell off all the unclaimed stolen recovered bikes, you can pick up a decent bike very cheaply.

Don't know when the next one is due, but you could try enquiring with Merlin on 01 8010700

halfords have the subway commuter range 06 on sale from 250. great commuting bikes, with no suspension and road tyres. the subway one got 10/10 in cycling plus last month although that was the 07 model.

I have a bike in my shed I got for my cycle to work but moved jobs soon after so it didnt do much mileage. Been sitting in my shed for 2 years now and the tires went down. Its nothing special but can be you're for €85

£54.94 (€81.88) delivered?
Or two slightly better ones (15-speed, alloy rims) for £129.90, with helmets and locks thrown in?

have you or anybody else had any dealings with this company ?

Not personally, but a neighbour bought four bikes from them for his kids and he says they were grand — better quality than the equivalent cheapo bike you'd buy in Argos/Smyths, etc. And he cycles a fair bit himself, so I'd expect him to know the difference...
