If there is a drop off place for Cape Town let me know and I will send you what I have. Think 2x26" rims (disc) And a whole bunch of stuff I am sure.

Greg.

 

Thanks Greg. I don't have a Cape drop off point at the moment. Can anyone else assist in bringing stuff up to Joburg?

Hey guys

I was telling my fiance about the charity that goes on here on the hub. She says there are quite a few guys at her office that commute and ride in the dark - Anyone have a suggestion how we could sort them out with lights? Any bike shops that could sponsor or give a good deal? It is a big firm so maybe we could start an initiative and get them to help out.

Thanks a million to Glenn who donated 3 MTB frames.

 

I am now in need of some MTB wheels for disc brakes and v-brakes if anyone can assist.

 

Thanks again to all of the amazing support that members of this forum have given my initiative.

Wow, has it been that long since I checked this thread? I guess that's what happens when you have a newborn! I'll be in touch!

Bits off a cheapie bike - can these be of any use to anyone or should I just dump it?post-44041-0-88728500-1382042679_thumb.jpg

 

Can always be used.

 

Taking a bag of cheapy parts through on Saturday. All brand new 8spd bits but very low end.

Hey guys, I met a gardener today who rides from Delft to Pinelands once a week, and Delft to Newlands twice a week. He rides an old steel frame road bike and needs some tyres, as his are old, the sidewalls are cracking, and he keeps getting punctures. Does anybody have an old pair of usable 700c tyres? I am happy to pick up in the Southern Suburbs/City Centre/Camps Bay area.

 

I gather there isn't a Cape Town pickup spot, so this seems like a relevant non-hijack of this thread - can anyone help out?

Absolutely useful!

You in Midrand right? PM me your address I'll drop it off during lunch sometime during the week.

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

 

It's a pleasure!

Most bike shops have the cheap platform pedals that come on bikes, that they'll sell cheap to you, or even give free.

 

Thanks for collecting the frame! Please keep us updated on the progress!
