On the hunt for a low price bicycle

Hi,

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place, not sure where is best for it really.

I'm looking to buy 2 adult bikes but am on a tight budget so just wondered if anyone knew of any sites to look at.

Sterling house seem to be the best I have seen but I've never ordered from them so not sure how reliable they are.

Thanks in advance
Laura xx

  • Hi

    Tescos have some half price bikes in store at the moment - this offer is only in store, not on the web unfortunately.

    Dont buy from sterling been on watchdog before, they let me down 2 days before christmas 2 yrs ago and I placed my order in oct!! they sent wrong bike when i phoned to complain was told I had to pay postage to return bike!!!
    so emailed them my disgust and they collected bike for free and I went elsewhere
    think sports direct have dunlop adult bikes for £50... but probably wont last long!!
    I would love to be a Travel Agent :j
  • We've had stuff from Sterling House before, without problems. But I was under the impression that they've recently gone bust?

    I have a new, unwanted, ladies mountain bike (am I allowed to mention this on here?), but might not be what you want.

  • Are there any markets near where you stay?? I´m away from home just now and I managed to get a really cheap bicycle for zooming about on - only cost me 50 pounds! It had 2 new tyres and has only broken once since I got it.. it was just the chain that needed shoved back onto the rungs! It´s a really nice bike.. I think I like it even more because it was cheap :-) car boot sales sometimes have cheap bikes for sale too.. it´s worth a look. Also, the ads in supermarkets are full of things for sale and I´m sure there will be a few bikes available!! Hope you find one, I love mine :-)
  • Just remember that you get what you pay for. Personally I'd go for second hand (try ebay and put a search in for something local which you can go and have a look at and pick up for free). You'll get more for your money than a new cheapie.

    My cousin bought a bike from Woolworths yesterday for £30.40.
    18 gear 26" wheel bikes for £30.40.
    The price on the box was £139 or £159. Then they'd been reduced to £60, then £38.
    A lady outside Woolies was giving vouchers - 20% off toys including bikes.
