These bikes are very attractive looking, they are particularly popular with females, most of these cycles are from the 1960s 1970s, so most are around 30-40 years old. Most have just a couple of gears, high and low that dont do much! These bikes are quite hard to pedal and are not like modern day mountain bikes with their chunky tyres and copious amount of gears and responsive brakes. A good level of fitness is needed to maneuver these bicycles and expect squeaky brakes! The majority of these bikes have steel wheels, as alloy wheels wernt invented back then! On many the chrome on the wheels starts to peel off and is left with surface rust, so I give the wheels a spruce up by spraying them with silver paint.

 

Please note the wicker baskets in the picture are for Illustration Only and are not included, you can buy them for £20 on Ebay or Halfords and are very simple to fit.

 

Common Questions I am asked:

 

*I DO NOT SELL MOUNTAIN BIKES*

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MOUNTAIN BIKE OR EQUIVALENT.

PLEASE MAY I SUGGEST: EBAY, HALFORDS, LOCAL NEWSPAPER OR MOTORWORLD IN PENRYN

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ELSE YOU CAN PURCHASE A MOUNTAIN BIKE FROM

 

A couple of points to remember

The purpose of my bicycles is to get students from A to B

If you are heavily into sport may I suggest buying a bicycle from Halfords

If you have a bicycle already then yours is probaly better than any of mine

All Wheels are RUSTY

The photos make the bicycles look more attractive than they are

 

None of my bicycles are suitable for triathlons, whether its a global, national or local event, my bicycles are just not suitable.

Collectors, my bicycles will not be of interest to you.  None of my bicycles have rare or expensive components on them, none of the frames are Reynolds or Italian equivalents.

I do not post bicycles.

Taking an old bicycle to a bicycle repair shop is a costly business, you wont see any change out of £200

 I like to meet at well known areas

for students, as I know  you are new

to Falmouth, with lots of open space

so you can try the bikes out away from busy traffic Such as :

 

This is the best place

Falmouth Rugby Club

Top of Killigrew Street, ideal as lots of open space

(Post Code TR11 4PQ)

From the moor go straight up the hill past Falmouth Marine School and at the top of the hill is a large roundabout

 

The Dell Falmouth Town Train Station near Woodlane

(postcode TR11 3LD)

 

Quarry Car Park behind Tuke House (near Argos and the Moor)

(postcode TR11 2EA) This is also good, as the car park behind these student flats is large and spacious.

 

Tregenver School now the Adult Education Centre

(postcode TR11 2QW)

 

Tremough Campus

(postcode TR10 9EZ)

 

Asda/ B&Q

(postcode TR10 9DQ)

 

or wherever you like as long as its away from busy traffic and there is space

 

All Bikes checked Over and Ready To Ride

 

Honest & Trustworthy

 

Many Happy Students have recommended me to their housemates

Fashionable & Unique Cycles Stand out from the crowd

 

Please note: I do not post bikes, so If you are from out the area you will need to come to Cornwall to collect

 

Plymouth University Students

I have had quite a few students come down to buy a bike, I will meet you at Falmouth Town Train Station (The Dell) Bicycles are allowed to be transported on the train

 

Not sure which bike is right for you? Call and I will try to advise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you need to know if you are thinking of buying a used bike

 

This is common sense stuff and most people should be aware of this when buying any used item

 

Buying a used bike is very different to buying new

 

If you would like a pristine bicycle then my bikes are not for you

 

The cycles I sell are reasonably priced

As stated all cycles are used expect signs of wear & tear

Such as : slight buckles in wheels, part worn tyres, brake adjustments, gear adjustments

rust, worn gears, worn chains, paint fading, scratches, dents

 

I always go through basic adjustments with you Saddle, brakes, tyre pressures

 

I also recommend a Professional Cycle Engineer if you want a full service and overhaul. This costs between £50 and £250

 

Studentbikeshop cannot be held liable for any loss or damage or personal injury

 

With a used cycle you will need to replace parts either yourself or using a bike shop, this maybe within a week of purchase, a month, a year. 

If you would like a maintenance free bicycle with a years guarantee then please do not buy a second hand bicycle

 

Thanks for reading.
