A while back I bought a fantastic Specialized Stumpjumper Comp FSR to replace my Kona Cinder Cone that was nicked about a month ago. The thing is, I daren't leave it anywhere, even with a large and very strong lock as most of the components are very nickable.

So i've decided to invest in a crap bike. Not bad for the €6 bid so far! Looks totally poncy and I doubt anyone will take it even with a small lock so it's perfect for cycling around the city.

Just get a wicker basket for the front and you're Miss Marple

At least nobody is going to nick it in a hurry!

That bike's AWESOME! Cruising the streets in that would be a right laugh because it wouldn't matter if you bent it!

I don't fancy your chances if you're pedalling and turning at the same time....
