I'm starting college in just over a month, and there's no way I can afford a new bike to use for getting there & back.
I have a budget of about £150, so I'm reduced to fleabay and the local classifieds. (Even cheapy Halfords stuff seems to be the £250+ range)
My question is, what should i be looking for on a bike to check all is ok?
For example, with a car, you'd check the inside wings in the engine bay to see if it's been in a front end collision from the paintjob.
What tricks & tips should I look for?? (Bearing in mind I've not had a bike since I was about 15, and know pretty much nothing at the moment.)
It's only gonna be used on the road, but it'll probably get used most days (especially once I get back into a job)
