Another case of the devil makes work for (my) idle hands.

Mountain bike £20 off fleabay (only one bid, mine)
Stickers £15 off fleabay (but it now)
New seat £7 Wilkinsons.

Stripped the bike down then a quick rub with scotchbright. Degrease with white spirit and paint with whatever red and black aerosols i had left over from other projects. Re assemble and hey presto.................

I'm guessing you used the same paint for the garage door?

I would be amazed if you couldn't flog that bike again for a good profit. In fact if it had some carbon on it you'd be beating a drooling Albie off with a stick :eek:
