BMX bandits breaking all the windows...

I'd like to buy a cheap half-decent bike in Cambridge; any recommendations from who/where I could do so?

In other unrelated gaming news I ranked in BF2, rah. The P90 and L96A1 are mine.

Ahem.

Yep! Lucky it has a huge magazine :)

The L96A1 is just =evil= wouldn't be surprised if it gets nerfed soon.

The Bike Man in the Market is good.

Thank you :)

It means I spend far too long playing online games ;)

I thought there was a by-law against actually BUYING bikes in Cambridge...they just seem to get recycled.

True; I should just buy myself some wire cutters instead ;)

The ucam.forsale list seems to have a lot at the moment.

Is that as in Star Wars BattleFront 2, or BattleField 2 - a far inferior game for it has no Imperial March when you start?

A friend of mine had his nicked, then two years later on the way home (drunk) spotted it abondoned in someone's front garden. It was a very moving re-unification.

Battlefield 2; I have yet to try Battlefront 2. Battlefront 1 was sadly a bit pants.

I however refuse to play FPS's with a joypad, yuk!

Lucky lucky lucky!

Cambridge bike-nicking is sadly far too common :(

[ua-meruti.livejournal.com]

Battlefront 2 is very similar to BF1 so if you didn't like that, then you're unlikely to like the sequal. But they have tweaked it to include hero characters and some of the sound bites are hilarious (like the other day I heard a pinned down stormtrooper mutter "join the army they said, see the galaxy they said"). It's just a much more classy affair than the first one I think.
That and there's a map where it's "Imp. Scouts v. the Ewoks". Basically, take your sniper rifle and blow away as many Ewoks as you can - that's worth the asking price on it's own.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Ah yes; killing Ewoks and Gungans was the highlight of Battlefront for me.

Sounds like they've tidied up Battlefront 2 then; the first one (certainly for the PC anyway) felt like a very rushed affair; the missions were still a little broken here and there, certain weapons and effects bodged and the AI hilariously dumb.

For bikes, you could always see if there's one on Freecycle:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cambridgefreecycle/

They come up on the Brum & Manc groups quite often.

Thankee!

My misses left hers chained up for ONE NIGHT in Norwich when the lock jammed. She took off the wheels as a precaution...came back and the brakes, saddle and gears had been nicked!
