Great deal. Been looking for a men's bike for a while ..... will try and convince my partner to let me have the amazing bike I got her for her birthday (mens mountain bike with dual suspension, disc brakes, the lot- which is rusting away in the garage grrrr) and she can have this one...lol

£25 for ***** like this is still too much

my dad tells me back in the 60s he had to take out a loan to buy a bike as they were so expensive compared to peoples wages. (comparable to thousand nowadays) how times have changed. And no he wasn't on hippy drugs.

seems a great bargain to me, but I still expect to see lots of people saying that any bike costing less than £300 will implode upon first use or melt when it rains

your Dad is right ..In 1970 the raleigh chopper was £40-£55 (depending on model) the average wage was £25 pw the bike cost equal to about £1100 today!!

I reserved and paid for one of these when they were on offer at £50. When I went to pick it up I was slightly disappointed and I decided to get a refund. £25 is more like it.

Heat added in any case. May reconsider a pruchase now.

Cue people who know nothing about bikes to think this is a good deal and ignore people that know about bikes telling them they are sh!t and not worth a £1.

Plastic cranks, usually plastic brakes, very heavy steel frames (great for your girlfriend to try and pedal uphill) and people assembling them at home with no cycle knowledge is a recipe for disaster.

It's your money, spend it on cr4p if you like.

Right on! Cheap bikes are at best rubbish, at worse completely dangerous. If you are considering buying one of these I ask you this:

Do you value your life at more than £1.50?

Why £1.50? I would be surprised if the brakes on this cost more than £1.50.
Somethings you can skimp on some you cant, a cheap pen probably isn't going to get you run over by a 78ton truck. A £25 bike easily could.

Cold! Even if this was free it would be cold from me.

On the topic of bikes, anyone know what happened to the Rockhopper deal that was posted a few days ago?
It remained on topic with no bitching but the thread vanished. The offer is still on too. strange!

Not worth the money at all, makes me laugh all these people on UBO's saying they're saving the environment when these pieces of s**t will be landfill in 6 months time.

A decent bike still does cost about the same. It's only these supemarket / woolies / pricedrop horrors which cost so little. Personally I'd keep my eye out for a nice second hand bike, they drop about 40 - 60% of their value pretty quickly so you can pick up a REAL bargain
