where to get cheap 2nd hand bikes in Dublin?

Hi

I need to get a very cheap bike (20-100 euros) which looks run down enough to leave at Heuston over the week-end with a good lock (and luck I guess) but is good enough to make 2x5-mi trips a week... I have tried adverts.ie, gumtree, UCD bike shop, ads in UCD, buy and sell, adoos or sth like that, there are a couple of bikes there but don't seem to be able to get any answers from people. Where else can I try?? Alternatively, would be interested in a folding bike (everything is overpriced in shops here, so would only make sense to get sth 2nd hand).

many thanks

hi

thanks for these. have tried to contact a couple of people on buy and sell but nobody got back to me. and there are many from N.I., which is not really an option for me.

anyway, thanks again

A cheap new bike in the north might be an option. Then scruff it up.

I think the fixie crowd have cleared out all the decent frames from the used market. All thats left seems to be battered MTB's.
