I need a new bike.

I want it to be light and strong. I want it to be hybrid or road orientated..no preference on suspension.

I also need it to abuse to death..and then a smaller version for Mrs G.

Its going to need to be a REAL bargain.

I think ebay is your friend on this.

Can you log-in to look at a completed auction? If so I reckon this is the sort of thing you should be aiming for. Auction no. 230144657435

Tell us exactly what you'll be using it for and the max budget and we'll be able to help you a bit better. Many people buy the wrong bike for how it gets used, £200 is really pushing it as well for something that will work properly and last slightly.

Hybrid, you say...?

[moleamol]

Components from the Penny Farthing such as the steel nutted headset (which are absolute cack) and the shifting and braking won't be too great. Additionally, despite being aluminium it will weigh more than your dogs.

No point adding weight with shit suspension forks that aren't even needed and will sap energy. I had already seen that and discarded it. He doesn't need a mountain bike.
