bargain POS

[pickle]

Rather embarrassingly my son wanted a bike for Uni and I was all set to buy jon the bassist cruiser when he said he no longer wanted one. Well a week later he changes his friggin mind and wants a bike!

So checked out eBay and found this 5 minutes from my house. Picked it up for £30. It needed some brakes and a good clean but all in all pretty cool little Hoffman POS for uni. I raided the parts bin for bits so cost nowt to fix up.

Awesome lil find for 30 notes

Good find, I've discovered that my cruiser wheels have (almost certainly) been stolen from Bradford's container anyway

Just the job for spinning round to the offy   

Instead of a crappy off the shelf bike lock go to a hardware shop and buy a 1-1.5m length of chain, I think B&Q do chains in lengths.  Put the chain inside an old inner tube with a few zip ties on it and a decent padlock.

Oh and buy some insulation tape and some rattle cans as he'll probably want to make it more student stylee.
