Looking for any old bicycle for a friend (they're 5ft 10 so something of roughly that size would be good). Doesn't matter what it is or how old, how crap, anything, as long as it can be brought back to a rideable state (by me) then I'll happily give you some readies. Gears/No gears, either or.

Cheap as possible is obviously the aim here as I'll be gifting it to them as their last one was stolen (which I was a bit sad about as I'd built that one for them too). Still, it'll learn him to leave a fairly nice little bike poorly locked overnight IN PRAGUE. Dopey.

Anyhoo, I'm prattling. It's a longshot, but if anyone has anything suitable then let me know.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
