Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
I've been looking for weeks for a cheap bike to use in the winter & am struggling to find anything for £200

Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
£200 for a complete running bike is a bit tight. At best I'd be able to get a 50cc ped that would need a new engine which would push me over budget. Actually I do know of a 125 I could have for this but as its history is known to me it would be excluded?
If we could up the budget a bit I think it would be more practical? But ignore the word practical in the practical sense. |

Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
I'd say £600 and you get there before 2050
Now I'd enter if it was 600 as I know of a bike going for a song needing shims doing and a MOT

Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
OK we know we are setting off from DPs in Preston (or Preston anyway...) But where are we going to?

Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
DPs (dads??) holiday home in Spain.
Either way, where ever DP spends his time over there.

Thats the whole point, and the sense of comedy adventure! Although DP has lifted the limit to £300 to accomodate repairs etc.
