FOR SALE: Challenge "Beacon" Folding Mountain Bike, Excellent Condition, £100


AC1964

Recommended Posts

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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
