Nick, would this be of interest to you? I spoke to my son about clearing out the bike room. this was his 8th birthday prezzie, but is keen to let it go. Anyone who can fetch and deliver?post-1604-0-55069800-1383054324_thumb.jpg

Thanks for the kind offer! At the moment I am building commuter bikes, so this one's a bit small. I'm sure someone would really appreciate it though.

Thanks for the frame. It is perfect. Got a set of V-brake wheels for you. Where can I source a set of pedals?

 

I have some plain old platforms that you can have. Randburg area.

Ah, cool. Maybe someone like the NF kids could use it.

i have a pair of pedals off a stride 20 that's in my bag of goodies for divernick if someone needs it.

 

TW - there's lots of kiddy homes that would love to have that - JHB Children's home comes to mind - and my tai chi sifu has a outreach program with young boys can ask him if they want it.

Hey Uni! All yours if you want it! I just don't have the time at the moment to work on it. So much going on at home.

I will happily donate some time to clean it up and get it ready for donation to a deserving cause

That would be awesome.

Maxxis is your passport up to date? Can you collect from TWeed?

If you have any other furniture /appliances you want to get rid of, (since you're moving - less to pack ;) )the joburg children's home will send their van and okes to come carry the stuff away, but if it's just a bike I can drop it off for them they're in observatory.

Someone very generous donated an XL Specialized Enduro. It's in perfect working order but I suspect new brake pads are needed.

 

My personal feeling is that this bike would be wasted on a commuter and probably get stolen pretty quickly.

 

I've decided to sell it and use the funds to buy stuff I need to get other bikes ready as well as to assist previous recipients with their bike maintenance replacing worn drivetrain parts like chains and cassettes and also brake pads.

 

I'm open to offers.

Hi guys,

 

I have 2x 26ers that are almost ready for donation. But I need some goodies if anyone can assist. I need 2x v-brake front wheels and a v-brake fork. Pretty please!

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the donation of this bike yesterday! Asterix88 brought it over and it's a real blast from the past!

 

Brigestone MB-5 with Exage Sport MTB groupset. It's all-original.
