For Sale: Kids bike – Islabike Beinn 20 small

Hi all,

My boys have grown out of their Islabike Bein 20 small so it’s up for sale.  Thought I’d post it up here to see if anyone would like to bag a bargain for their wean, nephew, niece (grandchild?!) for Christmas before I stick it on Singletrackworld or Fleabay…  It’s a cracking kids bike and is waaay lighter than most other bikes this size.

It’s basically the same basic spec as the current Beinn 20: http://www.islabikes.co.uk/bike_pages/beinn20.html except it’s 6 speed.  It suited my kids between ages 5 and 7. It’s in pretty good nick but has the usual scratches you’d expect in a kids bike and has a couple of scores on the headtube from a trailgator (also for sale ;8-) ).  However, it’s all in perfect working order as I’ve maintained this bike as fastidiously as one of my own.

Looking for £120 (new ones retail at £300).

Oh, and it also includes mudguards (which you will need as kids seem to love riding through muddy puddles)

If you’re interested let me know…

Couple of piccies below.

Cheers,

Pete

 

Tuesday 6th Fireworks Night Ride

It’s the annual WMD night once again.

The plan: club ride leaves as normal at 7pm from the club car park. Make your way (by any route you find fit) to the usual location at Loch Ardinning for 8pm. You’ll then be greated with warmed mulled wine & hotdogs that the budget can stretch to. They’ll also be a bloody big firework.

The majority of the committee members won’t be there, as we’ll be setting up at Loch Ardinning.  So leave at 7pm without us.

Hope see you there.

Too cheap to pay for your own fireworks? Fireworks Night Ride 5th Nov.

Hi,

The weather looks pretty good tomorrow night so I’m going to take a ride up to Mugdock to see the fireworks going off across the city. The Glasgow Green display is going off at 7:30 so planning on meeting at the usual car park at 6:45 and riding up to a good view point. I’m going to take some mulled wine and stollen for mid ride refreshments.

Anyone up for a day in the lakes?

Robin, myself and possibly a few others are planning a days riding in the lakes on Saturday 17th of November, if anyone is up for it?. Planning a pretty early start, as we aim to be riding about 9am. Not decided where we are riding yet, but it will probably be something like this –
