Re: Found a bike at last!
The City Fly is a fantastic little bike, bit of a trailie,robust enough for a little light laning,but comfy and totally reliable for daily commuting.
It's a Honda mate...... enough said. 8-) 8-) 8-)
I'm glad you've gone away from buying that Chinese crap, :)
Re: Found a bike at last!
It's simple. You don't want rust but do want a chain.
Hope that helps ;D Go on mcn, ride or bike websites. They will have a check list. There are hundreds out there so don't rush into it.
Re: Found a bike at last!
I just bought it! it was advertised at £995 but i managed to get it for £770.
I all looks pretty good apart from 1 of the indicators had been glued on lol and a flat battery!... but it works and thats the main thing... the engine sounds good, no rattles or anything like that. i have the batt on charge now and now need to get some L plates and some insurance hehe ;)

That quote was with me being 19 though... so it'll be much less for you as you're not a "youth" who is inevitably going to go around everywhere as fast as humanly possible and crash into everything... or so i'm told...
