I need brakes please guys.

 

Disc brakes, v-brakes and road brakes and levers.

 

Anything you can donate will help me get bikes to those who need em.

 

Thanks!

Hi i have quite a number of pieces that I am sure you can use - vbrakes, shifters, cantilever brakes and some saddles, stems, etc.plus I have a Trek 5500 frame which is in perfect nick if you are interested in building something a bit higher spec up and selling it for funds?

 

PM me and maybe you can arrange to come around - in Fourwyas area, which I think is close to you...

I have a couple of roadbikes that need a good home. Can anyone recommend a good development cycling program that I can give them to?

[divernick]

Just donated a couple of bikes. Visit the website here for more info on what we've been up to this year.

If anyone has any MTB parts, frames or forks and are willing to donate, please contact me.

 

Thanks again to all who have contributed.

 

A special thanks to Ruan, Andre and the guys at Tool-Up Cycles for always helping out when I need something.

Can anyone assist with a 26er mtb fork that can take v-brakes?

A big thanks to Tom for donating the fork that I have desperately been needing to get a bike ready and donated. It matches the frame perfectly as well. To finish this particular bike I also need a MTB crankset if anyone has one to spare, as well as a 27,2mm seatpost.

I am so proud to say that to-date we have had 44 individuals donate parts and bikes to this initiative! Most of the donors are hubbers - you're a great bunch!

 

I have donated over 20 bikes since I started this initiative - thanks to everyone for your support!
