Default Wanted: Sub-$50 mtb, prefer working cond.

I am in need of a ****ter, pure and simple.
I don't really want to pay for it but depending
on condition I will hand over some cash. :-)
Prefer an any old mtb, but it'd have to be
suitable for a 180cm tall, 56cm road bike
riding dude. Smaller bikes are fine, but not
bigger bikes.. no road bikes either.

I don't really have time to travel to Melbourne
shops during the day to get something - I think
Cash Converters would have what I want but
there's none in Hawthorn.

Does that CERES/Brunswick bike shed sell
"restored" bikes?

Slight issue is that I want a complete bike by tonight! :-)
That's why I'm thinking Cash Converters or the Bike
Shed are my only hope unless someone has one in their
shed they want removed..

That'd be cool! What do you want for it?
What are the chances of me picking it up tonight?
I'm not sure if you can see my email address in
cyclingforums, so email me sbirnie at bigpond.com
so we can sort it out..

Um.. what? Was there a Cashies in Hawthorn?

Anyway, thanks for the new mean machine
PiledHigher. This new bike adds to my:
track, bmx, old road, current road, new road
(deposit paid), ss, ht, vegemite, tank, trials.

I think I will give it an aerosol paint job and
call it "Tank". Photos will surely follow :-)
