Hmm. I've got one of these

Cost £200.
Would you say it's likely to look better or poorer than average?
If better, any tips on easily-reversible ways to make it look
rubbish..?

Better.Dont know about Waterloo, but that bike would be the most expensive
at the stations I visit.
You need to fit thin tyres, drop handlebars and a worn saddle to make it
'fit-in'.(as well as a complete lack of shiny parts visible).
Maybe best to get a £30 old road bike, and lock it up with the cheapest
lock possible - thieves wont touch it then.
