Right troops. In my wee noggin a wis like “ye loved spin class, get yersel a bike.” Exercise, work commute, wheeling down country roads with a baguette and carrot stems sticking oot the basket, laughing with salad in a meadow, etc. Whoever telt me that saying “jist like ridin a bike” was a pure bold faced liar.

If ye send me a message a can send photies of the actual bike that I had to hide in the spare room because it gives me the rage jist tae look at it.

Am delusional cause last time a rode a bike for any distance a was 12 an now am a chonky wee 35 year old who’s winded after a set a stairs and cannae balance. Might be an early midlife crisis a was havin.

So this wee nugget (me) spent £350 on a bike that came in so many wee bits mah eyes watered an it took a whole day to assemble. My hubs did that (whit ye think a can assemble a bike? Mate, I cannae even ride wan). After that bought all the gear: helmet £49 (cause am a danger tae mysel jist walking), expensive bike locks £50 and £26 (it’s glasge eh, twa locks may be too few), a tyre pump (think that was okay like a tenner or so a was bein economical).

So aye, am asking £300 fer the lot. It’s a crackin bike (leather seat and hand grips, a wee bell and a basket, a really good make, and super sturdy).

A know it sounds like a got a cheek but it’s legit been rode 3 times, is fully assembled, and a Dawes make. As well as all the gear tae go wi it. Safety first.

Won’t sell for less so please no offers. If a cannae sell I’ll jist have tae get my money’s worth riding it an prepare tae meet my maker. 💀💀💀

Pick up Knightswood only. I’d say I’d ride it over tae yer bit… but read the above fer why I cannae even use the mast basic form of transportation. If ye like a wee cycle in a boater hat like yer in Oxbridge, this is the bike fer ye. It’s a belter, an I’m a cabbage.

DM for more details if ye want it. Buy a bike, save a life.
