Title: WTP Avenue 2010
Post by: steviebwoy on May 04, 2014, 10:42 PM

Hi all,

I went to my local car boot today and found this little WTP Avenue.  Was thinking I could probably patch it up a bit. It's a 24 I think, and obviously only a few years old (I think 2010 ) in spite of it being fairly battered.

What do you reckon? Worth a cheeky purchase? I grabbed the guy's details so I can follow it up but thought it worth researching first.

How much was he asking? I would have parted with £80-£100 without question, but only because I'm looking for a cheap cruiser for my son for school.
If you put black tyres on it and put it on ebay I wouldn't be surprised if it fetched £150

Cheers Gary, the chap had put £100 ono on it so I reckon he would have taken £80 for it. I am quite tempted as I think they sold for £400 - odd when new. Do you think it's a worthy doer upper?

As long as there is no issues with the rear hub or crank I would have snapped it up.
Where are you as any bikes I see at boot sales are always halfords/tescos shitters

Would you guys give it a new paint job or keep it in it's (rather battered) condition? Trying to add value to it really..

Don't waste anymore money on it, it's a £150 cruiser in original paint

I haven't even bought it yet to be fair..! Starting to wonder whether it's worth buying for £80. Looks like 1x Yes and 1x No so far!  :crazy2:

It's worth £80 but that's it

Oh okay, so you don't reckon I'd be able to make much of a profit out of it then?

Where are you based?

Cheltenham. I'm happy to hang onto it for as long as it takes for someone to come and collect - not in any real hurry as it's stored in an outbuilding at the moment, safe from the elements :)
