You know how it is...
Cheap-as bikes tripping you up left, right and centre. When you don't want one.
Now we require short term use of a <250, and do you think there's anything around? Not on your nelly.
Hence this thread.
Does anyone within striking distance of Napier have a road legal 250 or under that could be press-ganged for YT to use for 2/3 weeks and get her full on?
Happy to pay reasonable costs and/or fix minor issues.
And have tried all the local bikeshops...no go.

It's not the destination, it's the journey. This journey just may involve some walking....
