whats a reasonable offer?

I am not sure I agree that a film camera is the best tool for learning. Film is great but
with digital the instant feedback helps a lot to see what different settings do etc.
Even a really basic camera with full manual control is enough.

If your budget is limited you could quickly blow it on film and get frustrated because you
always get to see what you did hours or days later.
You also add a lot of variables that are not under your control. For example the Lab makes a mistake
and you dont know why your images come out wrong. It also takes a lot of discipline to remember
what settings you used and what they might have done and to understand why the images
came out in a certain way. With digital you see it immediately. When you know what you are
doing you will feel more confident to use a film camera.

I would recommend to save a bit more money and get something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-EOS-300D-SLR-Digital-Camera-18-55MM-Lens-Kit_W0QQitemZ330308940277QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN?hash=item330308940277&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

That was the first affordable entry level DSLR.
I had this camera and the only difference to more recent models is that it writes the
and reads the images a bit slower from the memory card and the resolution
is a bit less. But it takes EOS lenses, has full manual control, you see the result
on the display etc.
Or like Ed said a Nikon D40 but since its a newer model it will be more expensive.
Also remember that a digital camera can have some hidden costs like a memory card,
a memory card reader, extra batteries...

For learning I would recommend to just start with tutorials on websites like these:

well, as an example;

this can be avoided if you assumed every vehicle is driven poorly, i.e. assumed that any car will turn left or right, even if it not indicating.

In this case, you can simply learn to assumed that the car ahead will turn left onto your path, even if it not going to.

good point, you are right.

ah well, live and learn.

learn what?

Aaltra?

"However, you can request access to CCTV images of yourself as long as the request is made in writing and gives enough detail to judge whether or not any CCTV images of you are held. This is because the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act of 2000 require public authorities to make any personal data held by them about a member of public available to that person.
If images of you are held, an edited copy will be shown to you. Editing takes place to make sure no one except you appears in the image(s) and that no other data which does not relate to you is shown, for example - a vehicle registration number which is not yours."

A friend of mine made a film using only CCTV footage that she got through the
Freedom of Information Act. They had to make every single person unrecognizable
except her. But they have to do it.

ah!

that pinarello is quite expensive for a chinese bike.

here is a list of the density of different materials

but you should still do it and get some really crazy design made.

I think the main reason is that it would be heavier than aluminium when using the same
dimensions.

like a young Vincent Gallo...

what are those orange things with the black sticks at the bottom?

pics of bikes anyone?

anything nice looking in the recumbent world is just way too impractical in real world traffic.
you end up with the disadvantages of cars and bikes combined.

and your chain is always slack...
