    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a bike to commute ~20-30km per day. Considering pretty much anything other than a mountain bike or a penny farthing! :p I've been searching online but not turning up too much so far.
    If you have a bike to sell, please post! Also, if you know of any good offline second hand bike shops you could recommend please do!

    Thanks!

    Hi Mugsy,

    Where are you located?

    What size bike?

    I may have a bike I built up for my wife for sale. It's a road bike, built on a CAD3 55cm (?) (Cannondale racing) frame that she doesn't use since I built her a mountain bike.

    I'm in the midlands though.

    Frame is too small for me otherwise I'd build a 'winter-when-I'm-not-using-the-MTB-bike out of it :)

    Should suite if you're 5'6 - 5'10" ish.

    Sum of the parts are definitely worth much more than €200, but we can discuss if you're interested.

    Peter

    I should probably have specified size, sorry! I'm 6'1" so I reckon that would be too small for me. Thanks for the reply though!

    I'll take a look that trek, if its still available? "Decent" working condition worries me though, what is wrong with it? And what year model is it?

    Bike is working 100%. It is not wrecked or broken. There a few scraps and marks from general use. Perfect stealthy commuter, Something hopefully the bandits will leave alone.

    I bought it second hand for GF. Its gathered enough dust now and must go. Its black and grey decals. Needs nothing but pair of legs.
