    Need a Cheap bike

    Hello Chaps...


    What I thought would never happen has.. I am without a motor vehicle
    I had a car ( which I crashed)
    A Honda C90 (which was stolen) not recovered
    A Honda VFR 800 ( which was also stolen) recovered but a write off (((((((

    and a Raleigh Runabout which I was working on slowly.. Too slowly to be of any use..


    All this within 2 weeks...

    I’m currently cycling to work and I’m nowhere near as fit as I thought I was.. That and its 6 miles of hills... (Big ones)
    At the moment I am awaiting the insurance for the car and the VFR ( C90 not worth claiming for)
    As a result I have very little money and I’m not sure I like my job enough to keep cycling lol... I was wondering if any of you were selling a cheap bike... As in under £400 maybe £600 at a real push

    P.S I don’t mind doing a bit of work to get it an MOT or working...


    Thanks


    Martin
