Anything under the stairs/in a shed anyone wants to get rid of? Open to ideas? Cheers, Mark

As far as I can make out the guy who bought this has it up for sale again.

Needs a bit of fettling and it is in Cornwall.
If only there was someone from Devon heading up to BB towers soon.

I have a recently brought 3 speed which I might be willing to move in if you’re interested.
I’ve not had it long, it’s great but I don’t need something which folds so small, if you have a larger wheeled folder if might be interested in a trade.

Cheers BDS.... what you got (model, bars? rack? dare I say it, colour)? Was after 6 speed for hilly stuff... might be able to adapt?
It’s to stuff in the campervan? Sadly nothing folding to trade...... hard cash do you?
PM me please if you’ve any photos?

A pal of mine has a 6 speed in Orange with the longer seat post. He reckons it's done under 200 miles £550 posted?

Steve and Rich, Many thanks for the replies - will consider but very keen on a 6 speed and the longer post works too, so likely will take your mate up on that Rich.... PM inbound ASAP.

Not my motivations at all.... Oh no... I'm not trying to conceal bike purchases with little ones

No not at all, it lives in my van and I don’t really need something which folds so small, I’ll hang on to it or exchange it for something with bigger wheels.
