Currently I am riding this
[img] [/img]
but would love to move on to [url= http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/productDetails.asp?productID=17373 ]this.[/url]
I would like to make it clear that you will not simply buying me a bike (a medium, thanks) that will help my recovery from an injury (well, sore back) but you will also be saving yourself time and enriching your life.
How? I hear you ask.
Not only will I send you on bike footage from my first 10 (yes, 10!) rides but the bike will send you...
A christmas card every year.
A birthday card every year.
Postcards from all it's holidays.
AND you will get the pedals to keep, FREE!

What do you think? Go on, get that warm glow from a generous act and make both of our new years ones to remember.

Thanks in advance 🙂

I wouldn't be riding that too far with that rear tyre...

Do you know you've got a puncture?

Have some air for free (as a gift from me) for the rear tyre and you will see a huge difference.

Do I get cards now?

The bike is at the end of a particularly tiring [url= http://photocast.mac.com/chrisauton/iPhoto/c2c-non-stop/index.rss ]C2C ride[/url] with a puncture a few miles out, tube replaced and tire checked but must have missed something, recurred, re-inflated and finished last 200 meters with it rapidly fading.

Sorry cheesy but I was leant the tyres with no air so gave them back without any, I had to suck up that expense.

Hmmm, just had a look at that RSS "photostream" on a PC, not as nice as I would hope, and Chrome just doesn't like it at all. Will try [url= http://web.mac.com/chrisauton/iWeb/Bikes/C2C%20non%20stop.html ]this version[/url] instead I think.

I have just been asked at I would get for my bike if I sold it, as if having only the one would be satisfactory 😯

You can see what I am up against, please help!

(am guessing a mildly upgraded, year old, Carrera Fury would not buy a new Pitch Pro)

I can't quite tell if this is actual begging (which there has been a fair bit of on STW in the past) or something tongue in cheek.

If your bike had been stolen then I might have thrown a few spare bike parts your way but you have a bike, which seems to provide you with some enjoyment.

Stop being a pikey and keep riding the Carrera until [b]you[/b] have saved up enough to buy something else.

Not actual begging, no, more boredom and yes, tongue in cheek hence the introduction to the bike I [b]am[/b] riding (although I do have a sore back at the moment and am tempted to invest in a Thudbuster) but I was sat here thinking, "mmmmmm, I really fancy that, and it is a huge bargain" then a grin spread across my face and I started to type.

That said, if anyone did buy it for me I would keep my end of the bargain, cheeky? Maybe, con artist? No!
The saving up is happening and have actually got a little bundle stashed away. My fiancee, who has helped save the money, may be a little "[i]dissapointed[/i]" though if I spent any of it on a bike and not this summers wedding 🙂

I could loan you something, but it would probably fall to bits at the first hurdle 😳
