    Wanted: Hybrid bike €250 or less.

    Looking for a hybrid/city bike in good condition. My Trek 6000 was stolen so am looking for a low budget city bike before I fork out for a decent hard tail again.

    Something along the lines of the below:

    Trek FX 7.3
    Specialized Sirrus
    Cube Curved
    La Pierre Shaper 500


    Thanks.

    Hi

    I am actually looking for the exact same thing as Lugsb.
    I am 5' 8'' so a Medium, or 53/54cm frame.

    Lugsb i dont want to hijack this thread, you got there before me, so in the interest of fairness you have first refusal on all offers, as long as i can have second refusal.

    Is that fair or even allowed on Boards ?

    Hi, thanks for the response, appreciate it. I'd prefer something with a few more gears as I'll use it for short cycles near Sandymount beach and Poolbeg, there is a short steep hill that you can build up some speed on the return leg.

    It looks like a nice city bike, thanks though!

    Hi Joey,

    I really like the look of that! What price is it? Was hoping to find something a little beefier hybrid wise, like a Shaper 500 but for the right price that might do. If you PM me with your friends details I will get in touch with them?


    Thanks.

    Hi Rua_ri,

    I have no problem with that at all! Might make the thread a little more exciting for the both of us?!

    I'm 5'9", and was looking for 52 - 54, 56 at a push I reckon.


    Thanks.

    I could take sloppy thirds if the size doesn't suit the other lads.
    I'm 5 10 so would take size 56 I reckon. PM if this works.

    Cheers

    EDIT: FOR THE LAPIERRE RCR ABOVE

    Hi folks,

    My sister-in-law gave me this bike a couple of weeks ago to give it a bit of a once-over before selling it. - So I got my toolbox out and knocked about 60% off the asking price straight away!! :D

    I'm not actually sure what size the frame is - will have a look when I get home.
    I rode this bike for about 6 weeks around this time last year and it gave me back the cycling bug which I had sadly lost in my early twenties. After a few weeks riding it I went out and bought my own. I'm 5'7 and it fitted me well.

    She's happy to let me look after the sale - so I'll PM my details to LugsB first and if that doesn't work out I'll get in touch with you Rua_ri.

    Sound fair?

    Folks - I bought the Trek 7.3 FX from El.duderino. It is in excellent condition and cycles really well. Might get some new pedals, grips and a saddle just to give it the "new" look.

    For any future readers, would still be interested in a La Pierre Shaper 500 as well!


    Thanks El.duderino.
