Specialized Sirrus £400ish
Revolution Cross £525 also makes a nice commuter if you like drop bars, you can always stick slicker tyres on if you want to use it solely on road
Other bike shops are of course available
Just wanted to thank you again for the advice. I settled on Specialized Vita because Sirrus, despite its attractiveness and my kind of colour, is a little big for the midget such as myself. x

Obviously, it goes without saying that when you move to London with the 3 mini weepipers and open your bike shop, we will all be serviced by you, you'd have no time to relax.

Please can any of you good people help a sadbrains with bike related questions.
Our wonderful weepiper had helped with a bike recommendation that I managed to ride for a little bit shortly before moving on to another job.
Can you tell by looking at this picture the size of the frame? I think it's 16', does it look like a 16 inch frame to you? Sorry for asking dumb questions.
Also, there is this strappy thing that I was given with the Kryptonite lock, how can get it off the frame?
thank you!

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Where are you based bmd?
I have a Ridgeback Speed bike (RRP £340) which is not in use and has not done 100 miles. Am broke at the moment so could do with £100 (or so as you can spare) for it. Needs to be collected from Hertfordshire and the chain greased etc.
He might have bought one by now.

Have a good look on the frame, they often have the size printed on them somewhere...
Oh shit

The black thing used to hold the lock.
I am selling the bike, but I want to hold on to that thing, just don't know how to get it off the frame.
Might have to go to a bike shop to ask for help.

No, there is some kind of a bastard clip that requires a freakin rugby player to un-clip it.

I have a set for my lock really handy! Only a fiver online. Mine just slip back through the clip though so strange theirs don't.

I fix the machines that fight climate change
It has a 3mm Allen bolt recessed in the middle of the face of the plastic bit, undo that all the way and the plastic bit will come off, exposing a metal buckle thing that you'll then be able to feed the strap back through to remove it.

Oil the chain, pump the tyres up, give it a wipe down and stick it on eBay, cheap bikes are gold dust at the moment - you literally can't get new bikes for less than about 800 quid because all the cheaper ones have sold out. I've sold a couple of bikes I had kicking around recently and they both had 50+ watchers and went for tidy sums, and one of them was only a kids' bike. It will sell for way more than a hundred quid.Where are you based bmd?

To save you a bit of trouble if you're under six foot two or so they're unlikely to have sold you the largest model.
I'm completely desperate for a bike but so is everyone else so can't be had for love nor money at the moment. You could probably get more then double what you were asking for it.
I am just under 6ft so probably not. Am going to tidy it up anyways as need some cash. Will post up the details anyway and stick on ebay or whatever if no urbans want it.

Well if it does turn out to be the 23"/xxl frame give me a shout. Could pick up with cash at your convenience.

Finally managed to persuade my wife that I should be allowed back on the road and there's none left. Should have concentrated all the nagging on having a grow tent in the shed instead.
