Hi
My friend gave his old never heard of make of 26er bike weighing in at around 40lbs to have a look at,
It needs, new brakes (v brake), new thumb shifters currently twist 3 by 7, tyres perished, all cables need replacing.
I have tyres but the rest would cost, can't see it worth doing.
So I think a used 29er v brake? Extra large would do him, any ideas. His budget is at least as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Why 29er?
Much easier to find a 26" bargain.
Speccing V brakes will just make it harder to find something.

26er will do, he's just a tall chap. Doesn't have to be v braked.

I just sold my old orange clockwork for £90.
Must be loads of similar stuff about.
