    Think you'd pick up something like a GT Palomar or Outpost model for about £200, this was a year ago mind you.Or something like a British Eagle bike for the same price, good sturdy bikes for all uses, except sex, no sirry, dont EVER mess with these babies when having sex, I heard this guy caught his ..... no , we'll leave it at that. And we're all none the wiser
    It's about a society in freefall....

    If you go down to the bypass in Limerick I'm sure you could bargin with the knackers for one of those deadly machines that they have, you know the ones with the tractor tire on the back, shopping trolley wheel on the front and harley handlebars that you have to stand on the crossbar to reach.Now that is a bike.I'm heading down to them when I get back anyway.

    For 200 I reckon your best bet is to get a good second hand bike.

    i got a townsend for £150 on a trade in about 31/2 years ago and it is great. it is heavy as hell but it gets me where i'm going. it is the budget choice but you won't go far wrong. if you dont need to be a 133+ cycle d00d then do it.
