1
Hello! I've come about the bike you're selling online.
2
Ah, you must be Hannah. Come in, it's just here.
3
Thanks. Oh, it looks even nicer than in the photos.
4
It's in good condition. I've looked after it carefully.
5
How long have you had it?
6
About five years, but I haven't used it much recently.
7
Why are you selling it, if you don't mind me asking?
8
My knees aren't what they used to be, I'm afraid.
9
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
10
Has it ever had any problems?
11
Only a flat tyre once, and I fixed it straight away.
12
Would you mind if I took it for a quick ride?
13
Not at all. Go up to the end of the road and back.
14
The brakes feel good, and the gears are smooth.
15
I had it serviced last spring, so it should be fine.
16
You're asking a hundred and twenty pounds, aren't you?
17
That's right. It cost over four hundred when it was new.
18
Would you accept a hundred? That's what I've got with me.
19
Hmm. Let's meet in the middle and say a hundred and ten.
20
That sounds fair. It's a deal!
21
Here, take the lock as well. I don't need it any more.
22
That's really kind of you. Thank you.
23
Enjoy it, and be careful on the roads.
24
I will. I'm going to cycle to work from now on.
