I've got a white saddle with grey retro/BMX-style checkers on it... yours for a fiver or a pint, and I'll throw the equally checkered top tube pad for free. No pics, sadly.

The girlfriend is looking to dump her ancient 3-speed for something a little more, ah, sleek and agile. (This is not a metaphor).

A 46-48cm frame, if possible, or if the price is right a complete set-up. Single-speed is not a requirement, as I am willing to prove my worth and do a swap for her.

And because I'm feeling particularly lucky, it would help if its green in colour, as well.

Let's try to keep the tags below the £150 mark, cheers.

Grand Comp tyre please, I'm in E1, pickup tonight?

So... you bought a bike and then sold shortly afterward it so you could build a different bike? All so you would look 'cooler' and more 'acceptable' to the types of people who post on this forum or live/cycle in East London?

Yes.

I've been riding a Grunge saddle 20miles a day for the past eight weeks, and my arse has not been chaffed once. Also, according to my GP, my sperm count is thriving, through-the-roof, at Silvio Berlusconi type levels.

I love this, some of my VW MKII buddies do this to their bonnet, strangely. Is this bike nick-proof? Like those sandwich bags that make your bread look moldy?

From one newbie to another, I purchased an SE Lager a few months ago and was pretty underwhelmed with the quality, mostly of the cheaply made Chinese manufactured parts, but as a basic ride, it was pretty fun, and I guess, reliable (not to mention, pretty ugly). It was pretty quick and the flip-flop hub was a nice surprise, but, after a month I got my act together and realised I could sell the thing off, and build one up for half the price, and claim my smug-riddled spot among these wankers, (who, by the way, couldn't help mentioning - everytime - that SE makes BMX bikes, not, usually, single speeds). But it appears you've gone with that Halford's beast, stay away from East London, or you'll forever be second guessing your purchase. But with that said, welcome to your new obession.
