I'm selling a Challenge "Beacon" folding mountain bike.  See below for links to photos of the bike in situ, taken earlier this morning.

£100 cash on collection from Dawsons Heights end of Dunstans Road or - if you'd prefer - payment by Paypal transfer.  (I'll give you my paypal details when we've agreed a sale.). NO HAGGLING, PLEASE.

I bought this bike last year because it's one of the few full size bikes which I came across which folded and I have limited storage space in our flat for a full-size bike.  Sadly, shortly after I bought it - and having only used it three or four times locally, I was diagnosed with a serious health condition which means that I'm unable to use the bike as I'd intended.

It's been checked over by a local bike technician who confirmed that it's in very good order.  I'll show you how to operate the folding mechanism when you come to collect the bike.  (It's not rocket science, but there's a knack, as always with these things.)

I'll throw in a sturdier-than-normal weatherproof cover - again in excellent condition.

The bike currently retails via Argos for £240 so you'll be getting a bargain at the asking price.  Hence NO HAGGLING PLEASE.

Here's the spec in red font from the Argos website:

The unique Challenge Beacon bike gives you all the qualities of a mountain bike, with the ability to fold as well. Perfect for commuters and those who like to travel it has front suspension - commonly referred to as a hardtail - as well as 18 speed Shimano gears so you can always choose the right power for the right terrain. 

Being such an all rounder this bike is perfect for commuting but also great for holidays, trail riding and any general exercise and fitness regime. 

This bike comes 95% pre-assembled in the carton.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
