Can I borrow or Buy a 52cm bike?

Postby Marek » Sat Jan 05, 2013 10:45 pm

Help required, my misses has signed up to do the East Grinstead Triathlon in May and I need to get hold of a racing bike around the 52cm mark. I would be willing to borrow/hire from a club member a bike they have lying around not using, or happy to buy for a relatively cheap price as to be honest she has already said that after the event she does not intend to ride it after.

If anyone has something that they think would be suitable, really does not need to be anything special then that would be great. Any help much appreciated, or even pointing me in the right direction to find something of this description before I enter into the lottery of ebay.

Cheers

Your wife can borrow my old bike if it's any good to you. My old frame fitted with a compact and cheaper components for holidays. It's a 52cm top tube.

Why not? Once she is set up on the bike, bring her along to the club run. I'm sure she will get into it. :) Plus, what's the point of riding through the winter and stopping in May?!

Fantastic, Bridget it is not very often that someone as kind as yourself offers their babysitting services every Saturday morning for free, but this is the kindest new year gesture that I have ever had, I have a tear in my eye. What time will you be around on Saturday morning?

I've not seen you out lately Marek, perhaps you could look after the kids? ;-) Or you could take it in turns. :roll: Or your wife (sorry, I don't know her name) could come out on a Sunday ride. Or, she could team up with Carole, who is also looking for a babysitter and they could take it in turns :wink: Dammit, I knew we needed a creche. Take them to Redhill Raiders.
