A mate in Japan has been offered this;
for £50 (equiv)
he'll be doing about 25km on the road a day - commute and errands at work and hoping to do some gentle but steep off-road at the weekends. What were these like? This was super-advanced tech in my first MTB life - used to drool over this type of bike in the mags.

Not ideal, and a bit bouncy, it will of course do the job and is almost certainly worth more than £50 if it were in the UK!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I lived in Japan once & paid a lot more than that for my shopper bike.... Also bikes do get knicked a lot over there, so i wouldn't pay too much for an urban ride anyway. I'd get it.'Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible' Marcel Proust.0

Forks are dead. If the pivots die they cost a fortune. But fifty quid? Go for it.0
