After having my Carrera runaround/hack/pub bike nicked last night from outside the gym – I need a replacement

Has anyone seen any bargains anywhere – sub £250?

this doesn’t look too shabby for £219, would do as a gym/pub bike

Clicky

or this looks pretty cool depending on your local terrain.

Clicky num2

it doesn’t does it? – cheers

added another link too in an edit 🙂

Try your local gumtree?

I’d have thought a crappy drop-bar bike would be less nickable than even a cheapo mtb and would therefore be a better pub/hack bike

I tend to use it with the kids when camping etc. so at least a hybrid sort of thing really

I wouldn’t care but I recently gave away most of my old spares or I could have thrown something together quite quickly

I agree with jfeb – drop bar bikes are much less desirable. Specialized are especially nickable imo – most famous/common ‘proper’ bike brand.
