Hi all
I'm looking for a cheapish bike to use as a commuter hack
Not looking for exotic and max budget is £250 delivered or be local to Banbury
Must be large so 18 to 20 inch frame
Must be hardtail and preferably rigid forks too

Carreara Vulcan with alloy frame, SRAM kit, Tektro Cable disks, RockShox sus forks, nobbly tyres but could be swapped. Ready to go and yours for £100 plus postage
Or
A nice Trek with steel frame and rigid forks, think the wheels are 700c, bought recently and going to give it a good service. £80 posted.
Maybe not what you are after but I've got a mint saracen in the shed (forget which model other than it has elite after the name). 19 inch, rigid fork and I kitted it out with full XT m739 aside from 732 thumb shifters and chainset. I can swap the thumbies out for either XT stis or separate XT shifters and the chainset for a 737 or 739 version.
I was going to part it out in the near future but could sell.complete.
Here's a link to it partially built. I've only ridden it a couple of times. It has mudguards and a rack for a kids seat which was why I built it in the first place:
Selling my Munimula if any use to you,98 if I mind right.
Z-max tyres,brake/gear cables,headset and bb new on few weeks back,rear wheel not original.other than that original Avid 2.0/1.9 brakes Xt Lx Stx group set .scuffs n scratches here n there,but no dents.
Can get more pics tomorrow if needed
