A to B Free-ads for pre-loved folding bikes, especially Brompton, electric bikes and just about anything you want to sell. All items are listed on this page and in the following paper and digital editions of A to B magazine. Ads appear here immediately, and remain listed on the web pages until the next issue of the paper and digital magazine: late-February, late-May, late-August and late-November. If the item hasn’t sold, simply re-book in the free-ads pages of the following magazine, there’s no fee.
The right bike can sell very fast. How about 12 hours: “Wow, its been pretty hectic on the ‘Selling Bromptons’ front. Both are now sold. Many thanks for putting the advert on the website.”
Just send the wording by email to atob@atob.org.uk and feel free to include a photo, although space for a photo is not guaranteed, especially in the magazine.

Small ads, small print
You can advertise whatever you want in our free-ads, but the best results tend to be for popular folding bikes like the Brompton, Dahon or Bike Friday, or electric bikes, like the Giant Lafree or Kalkhoff.

FOR SALE, WANTED or STOLEN

FOR SALE 13th October 2023 Nissan ENV200 Tekna electric van/micro-camper registered in March 2020. MOT Feb 2024.
The camper conversion was created to fit a brief of making the vehicle multi use, light delivery’s in the week and quickly converts to a really useful 2 person micro camper.
The Nissan was chosen as a base because it had and still has one of the best range battery’s in its class. 150 usable miles if driven well and 120 if you are staying on motorways at high speed, that still leaves a bit in reserve. adding 100miles at a public charger will take about 35 minutes
As you can see in the video two people can easily convert the van to a campervan in under 10 minutes including putting clothes food etc in ready for a quick get away after work.
The Van has a 250 watt solar panel on the roof charging a 2Kwh leisure battery which runs the lights and a 500 watt inverter which we use to run a kettle, small single hob ring or our Remoska (see Lakeland for that ). and the fridge
The rear of the van is insulated and lined so if plugged in at a campsite you can recharge overnight and run the van electric heater without having a noisy engine running. The ceiling has 6 LEDs, individually switched, and dimmable downlighters for cooking and reading etc.
In the rear there is a pull-out kitchen draw for outdoor cooking and a Dometic compressor fridge which will cool down to freezing if required.
The van itself is the Tekna spec model which gets sat-nav, DAB radio, Bluetooth for hands free mobile phone, reversing camera, air con along with alloy wheels. £21,000

For Sale 27th May 2023 Raleigh Bomber. Incredibly cool today, the Bomber had something of an identity crisis when it was built in the 1980s… it’s basically a Beach Cruiser, or maybe an Esplanade Cruiser, because they’re hardly sand tyres. Giant (for the day) blue balloon tyres, Super Sexy Sturmey 3-spd hub, blue plastic-coated frame, blue wheels, blue bars, blue saddle, it’s cool kitch writ very large. Good news is it’s low mileage and all original as far as the owners is aware. Bad news is it’s spent 20-odd years in a damp shed, so there’s rust on many things, and some paint issues. Basically though, a great restoration project. Needs to be collected from Weymouth in Dorset.
Offers and all enquiries to A to B at atob@atob.org.uk as A to B is we’re selling it on behalf of the owner.
