    Something like an Islabikes Rothan.

    Must be in excellent working order and cosmetically decent.

    They sell them here:

    There's a shop in Dun Laoghaire, just near Hallmark opposite Penney's. I'm not sure if they have them in stock though or if they would be open today?

    I don't understand how you're going to be able to get any power data from that bike .... or is that what the new cranks are for?

    We have a recently redundant JdBug from The BikeDock, similar to this:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7433. It's a little different as it's last years model. Main difference is that it's blue. It's in excellent condition. £65 new, how does 40eu sound?

    Yes!, sorry about that. That's the one. It has a rear hub brake (not that he ever used it!) and also the facility to add pedals I believe although we didn't bother with that add-on as there's plenty of "proper" bikes around here to move onto. This type of bike really does work very well for instilling the necessary sense of balance - our little fella who was 3 just a month ago can already pedal a normal bike now - the prblem now is learning how to steer and stop!

    €35? I can collect later today if it's convenient.

    Okay then. I know it's a bit late now but I'm in for the evening and will be in tomorrow evening also from about 4.30 if that's better.
