I can imagine this thread will go down well!!
What's the best BSO you've seen under £200?
My 65+ uncle wants something for canal towpaths and local sustrans routes. He's sent me a few links to some absolute garbage and I'm sure there's better out there.
So - what've you seen that looks half decent?
Thanks ianv - some of the BTWINs look quite good - but none are in stock.
Anymore suggestions?
Got to say the Btwin looks a lot better than that 37lb hardtail from Halfords! You want to be looking at fully rigid don't you, surely any suspension unit is just dead weight at that price point?
I should think that a saved ebay serach with those terms would bring up some beauties, espicially at this time of year, no-body will be buying. That coupled with a chap who knows what he's looking at/for and can service/repair.
Suitable for the older gent.

I've no experience with the above bike but EB always had good value/spec'd bikes.
My suggestion would be to find your [url= http://www.bikehub.co.uk/featured-articles/recycling/ ]local bike recycling charity thing[/url] and pick up a refurbed [i]probably-quite-good-in-its-day[/i] bike for £200.
but none are in stock.
I would be surprised if Decathlon had no stock of its mid range bikes, maybe contact the local store to ask about availability.
