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.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
