Title: Exercise bike – I WILL DONATE £50 ON TOP OF THE HIGHEST BID
Post by: CarolM (Wendolene) on November 30, 2008, 15:18:24 PM
Do your cats run rings round you?  Are you left feeling exhausted after a boisterous play session?  You need to get fit.

What better way than on a Tunturi 715i exercise bike.  In its day it was top of the range but sadly its day was about 15 years ago.  However, it still works well (its not exactly been overused) and boasts variable resistance and a programmable LED readout of time, speed, distance, rpm and calories.   The handlebars move as you peddle (like on a cross-trainer) so you get a good workout.


Postage:   :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:   This is where you earn the extra £50 donation.  This item is seriously heavy and buyer must collect from an upstairs room in our house near Bolton, Lancs.  I am just a weak girlie approaching my bus pass and OH has a bad back so we won’t be of much help to you.  I reckon it needs two strong young things (or strong old things) with a van.

OK …. it’s a long shot …..but worth a try.  PM me if you want more info.

Opening bid:  £0.50

I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET RID OF IT  :rofl:  :rofl: It really belongs to OH but has been cluttering up MY space for the last 12 years.  Every Christmas I advertise it in the free adds.  I think my original asking price was about £25 and its come down every year until now  I am willing to pay somebody to take it away.  I would love it if my payment could benefit a good cause like Paws Inn but it doesn't look as though its going to happen.  So PLEASE....... any takers!!!!
