Offered 24" wheeled road bike

[marc]

I bought this bike from somone on this NG for my son about 6 years ago,
it had then just been powder coated. , "sold" it to someone in the club
last winter, he never paid for it and last month brought it back
because" The inner tube has gone and I can't find another" *******!

There is now a little bit of surface rust breaking through the powder
blue powder coating , and of course it needs a new inner tube , but if
anyone wants a "real" road bike for their youngster please feel free to
contact me. On Monday it will be advertised on freecycle

"South Wales" covers a large area!

Do you have a picture of the bike? How many gears? Does it have
dual brake levers?

Nope. I'll be nowhere down near that way, so I can't pick it up.

Dual levers aren't necessarily suicide levers.
