Looking for cheap/used bikes?

dhutch

I dont ride my 'nice' bike into campus because im not mad.
- However, to prove im right for that, today i had my old/second/commuter bike stolen.

Gits!

So i need a replacement bike.

Budget is minimal, £50-100 tops i would say. But i dont want to be riding something cheap and rubbish. Old and worn is fine.

The previous bike was my old 04 hardrock, shocks where shot, cable disks didnt, frame scratched, etc. But it had a newish cassette on it, and when coasting atleast still rode like the £500 bike it once was.

The problem now is where on earth do i buy such a bike, as i dont have any others of my old bikes, because the cromo hardrock before it went the same way about 5 years ago.

Any thoughts? Ebays not great from what ive been finding.

Might be worth a trip to the tip as some people just throw there old bikes away, either because they have new ones or because of slight damage, say a buckled wheel or something.

Now i bet your thinking "but i dont want one with a bucked wheel" well say you find one with a buckled front wheel and another with a bent frame, take the front wheel off the one with the bent frame and put it on the one with the buckled wheel and hey presto you got yourself a working bike.

Anyway just thought it might be worth looking into.
