Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: axs on Monday, March 1, 2010, 18:56:13 Top one, no contest.
Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 1, 2010, 19:08:35 Top looks a bit flimsy to me for off roading....you need something more like this.

Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: 4D on Monday, March 1, 2010, 20:48:45 Do they both have room for your wicker basket to go on the front? :)
Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: Cookie on Monday, March 1, 2010, 21:11:16 Definitely old school, looks so much classier.
Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: 4D on Monday, March 1, 2010, 21:13:01 Have they got a bike rack at the Kassam?
Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 1, 2010, 21:19:03 Have they got a bike rack at the Kassam? You'd have thought so, to enable all those students to attend matches. Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: Cookie on Monday, March 1, 2010, 21:35:37 Bikes left by the fence will be removed
Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, March 1, 2010, 22:33:28 How much have you got to spend? What will you use it for primarily? top one is reduced to £185 from £250, so I wouldn't want to spend any more than £200. I'll use it mainly on roads but like I say, would definitely need to keep the option of rougher terrain open. You'd have thought so, to enable all those students to attend matches. Students? There's probably about 50 students max at any OUFC game. Town and gown don't mix round ere Title: Re: Bicycle Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, March 1, 2010, 23:55:56 if onnnnlllyyyy this bike was a motorcycle
