Hi I'm looking for a tent suitable for overnight bike camping trips. The one I would like is the Vango Microlite 200 (in green). Unfortunately they stopped making it and I can't find one. Any suggestions? Anyone got one they don't want knocking about? Preferably good nick and reasonable price.

Hi Lou, thanks for the suggestions but they are old links and unfortunately the shops don't have the tent - I phoned Storm today, and the GearZone link is a dead one. I could kick myself for not having picked up on the offer at Storm at the time, because it was such a good little tent. BTW it also appears on the website of Anchor Supplies Government Surplus and they don't have it either.

A great tent is a TerraNova Laser, they are top notch kit, very light weight but ultimately very expensive.

Appreciate your suggestion, Heritage.

I looked into the Laser but as you say very expensive - around £300 for a tent too small for two people to sleep comfortably, and which needs a strip of material to be tied on with string (!!) along the pole seam to stop it leaking. No thanks.  

I'd rather have the Vango Microlite 200 even if it is heavier, if only I could get hold of one.
