Hi,

I am looking for a cheap sports chair to use with loads of camber to keep up with my wife whilst playing tennis as my day chair doesn't cut it!

Looking for a 16 or 17 inch width seat and the rest is just detail!

I am based in Milton Keynes and can collect from anywhere in the UK.

Willing to pay good money but baulking at £1,500 for a new chair for only occassional use...

Hi thanks everyone,

RGK is one of those sites you need to check on a regular basis i guess!

I have a deal with Bobski for his tennis chair (Cheers mate!)

Wriggley can you tell me more about your BB chair i could be the oldest all rounder in the UK!

Hi I have a Quickie Titanium for sale, 16 inch seat, 26inch spinnergy spox wheels, with a Jay back, it's as new the wheels are red and the main frame obviously is titanium. It is so flexible with the adjusting. I would be willing to sell you it for £1500 as it would cost at least twice that if you bought it new.
Please get in touch with me if you are interested, I could send you photos.
