I'm Matt, I'm a bargain addict.

Today a pair of brand new, still tags on, large Thule Shield panniers arrived, courtesy of a Facebook group. £35 posted. 😎

What's your second hand bike bargain?

The centre-piece of my current build. An OnOne 45650b frame* for £35.

To put that into perspective, that's two cups of coffee more than 4 sets of new brake pads I just ordered from Uberbikes.

*It does have a small dent on the top tube. But it's steel, so no problem!

Probably 9/10ths of what I own! Best of all was my 26er Roval Traversee wheels, the very first model- bought for £80, used forever, broke a rim and fitted a chinese carbon one, broke a hub so rebuilt that rim onto a cheap novatec hub... Got nicked, got a payout from the insurance, then the police recovered the rear wheel so I got it back. Outlived the wheelsize...

I put an ad on here a year back for a bike for my brother. Fella offered me a steel On One (inbred I think), old but Hope mini monos, XT gears, Hope hubs, Thomson stem etc. Wanted a £20 donation to charity! Even had a Chris King headset.

My hippy brother leaves it locked to the railings outside his place, last time I spoke to him he still hadn't figured out how the gears work. Did wind me up somewhat but I had to let it go.....

I'd be in contact with Netflix to turn that into a mini series!

I got an unused brand new Dh bike for a very good price of 430 pounds. It was good value new at about 1200 pounds although I think the owner got a clearance deal on it.bought it on this forum although it was a few years old. It is brilliant.
