Matt how far are you from the bike, I'm sure we can do something about fuel money to go and get her in the estate while I'm down anyway.
Just replace the brake cable, its about £1.50 from Wilko (who also happen to do brake pads, tyres and tubes cheap) Crank bearings will be loose or caged if its a 1 piece so probably just need re greasing rather than replacing. Tesco also sell parts and do a chain but I'm not sure it would be wide enough, looked like a MTB one.
How bent are the wheels and are the spokes rusty as if they aint that bent and the spoke nipples are good I can true them.
My worry is that it's the freewheel thats crappy (the toothed bit on the back wheel that the chain goes round) as they rent particularly cheap and are an utter PITA to get off an old bike as it'll be seized on.
Get me some pics dude as I have both a brand new shimano V brake and a tektro U brake in the garage although you might have to re use a brake lever. Actually I have a pair of pedals (or 2) that you can have
Also price up what your doing before you start, halfrauds sell a brand new BMX sub £70 and a brand new mountain bike sub £80 or even sub £100 for one with suspension
Just get one of these, would suit you totes.
