ADP 0 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Any one know anywhere decent in town where I could pick up a second hand bike for cheap? The only place I know of that is Recyke Y'Bike in Byker, though could do with other options if possible. 200 quid budget. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Have you checked gumtree. Some cracken bikes on there around that price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44889 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The problem with Gumtree is a lot of the bikes are nicked. And the coppers can just take it off you if they get a serial number match on a bike that's been reported stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you're spending that sort of price combined with having a quick google of the buyers address then you're fairly safe. Ie If it was someone on your estate selling it you'd be fairly confident it was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44889 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Right so we're restricting him to buying off his neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Right so we're restricting him to buying off his neighbours. No, Gumtree usually lists the street the seller lives on. If it looks rough as a badgers then you can decide not to chance it. If it looks like a decent estate then I think your chances of it being stolen are greatly reduced.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 ADP? I've no idea. Well if he's a bamp he's obviously come by his £200 by illicit means anyway so will probably be able to spot a wrong un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Go to Northumbria Uni auctions. I'm not taking the piss either with that; when the sports students finish and go back, if they leave their bikes etc. behind, you can get them for cheap.
