A poor impoverished student I know is looking for a ladies bike for someone 5'1" for not a lot of cash
Has anyone got such a beast that they want to get rid of ?
Anyone with helpful suggestions like freecycle (ha ha), please save it and don't waste bandwidth
Lend him a cordless angle grinder....
Or get one off Freecy ... ah ... ;-(

Ebay tends to have a lot of junk if you're trawling for lowest prices
- try police sales of recovered bikes, also ask at proper bike shops for stuff they need to shift (but don't want to put on the shop floor)
Unlike most London shops - the London bike shops do still tend to be run by enthusiasts - go chat to them.
The one in Tooley St (On yer bike?) is good, as is the one in Grays Inn Road (Condor Cycles?), and the one down the side of Waterloo (Evans?). They sell expensive bikes - but I would be surprised if they wouldn't point you in the right direction.
Also try London Cycling Campaign.
In fact LCC have a secondhand bike shops list:
geoff gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Our local scouts held their annual bike auction this morning - I know one of the organisers, so I could drop 'em an email see if there's anything suitable left over, if you so wish.
Not particularly close to Lewisham (edge of the Chilterns) but walking distance from the station or I'll be taking the car in to Bermondsey over the BH w'end.
Drop me an email.
Assuming this is isn't a ladies bike because she rides in long skirts - look for an outgrown teenager's bike and put a lady's saddle on it.
