    I presume you're only interested in legitimate bikes?

    Realistically, if you want something that works, no. Up your budget to the €100 region and you should get something halfway decent on adverts.ie, gumtree.ie or buyandsell.ie.

    What do you think, honestly? Unless you buy a stolen bike off a junkie and indeed are lucky with your junkie you are not getting something that will work for €20.

    Why do you only have €20?

    Oh, what was the name of that place? Anyone?

    I was delighted by the service last time I shopped there. Not to mention the marvellous prices!

    You probally should have invested that 20 euro on a lock.

    You deserved to have your bike robbed.

    Argos sell this for 35 euro, bit outside your budget and it may require larger cranks and a longer seatpost, but unless you are willing to set a realistic budget for a bike to "get around on" then you will only get silly answers:

    you might find an absolute wreck for free in a skip, probably rusted through, requiring 100 euro of parts to get it going again. Then you will obviously need a decent lock which may cost upwards of 40 euro, otherwise you will be posting another "bike for 20 euro" thread every couple of months.
