I don't have one for sale but can highly recommend the Force10 Helium 200. Pretty good room for two (although I use mine solo) and weighs in at 1.34kg. Price tag is a hefty £250 though...

Remember the differences between hobos, tramps, and bums: hobos' are people who travel and look for work, tramps are people who travel and don't look for work, bums are people who neither travel nor look for work

Was thinking MUCH MUCH cheaper, its for a family member going on a 3 week cycle tour next month. If nothing 2nd hand appears he'll probably go for a new vango banshee 200.

Liam, I've had an original pro-action the last three years in the garage, never been used in anger. If its of any use shout.

That's exactly why it's not been used :) My wee delicate 6'4" frame didn't fit in it
