Is that cheap?

There's an 18" in very good condition with lights and mudguards for sale on my work notice board. I don't need another bike (never thought I'd say that) but just wondered...is that about the right price? I see it mentioned on here frequently.

    If in very good condition maybe worth a punt. Not worth it if needs parts replacing imminently.

    I would check the age and condition of the bike and if you like what you see maybe try to knock the price down a bit.

    I would definitely recommend the Subway, it's a great commuter bike and the 2 gets better gears and disc brakes too!

    I have a subway 1 for 2 years, now relegated to winter /back up bike but still going strong.

    Worth a look and an offer i guess defendant on condition and whether it has been used much in the winter.
    take a look and walk away if it looks dodgy.

    Thanks, so it's about the right price depending on condition. As I said, I'm not for buying it, I was just being nosey and seeing if the price was about right!

    Ive just sold mine for £150. it was 3 years old and in great condition so if its been kept well then worth a punt!
