Build-a-Bike - Enriching the lives of the less fortunate

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Hey guys... I have 2 MTB frames just gathering dust at home. 26" Felt q620 & 26" Avalanche AX575. Both hardtail. 

 

Anywhere in CT I can drop off?

Hi Myles,

 

Unfortunately I'm in JHB.....

Sorry, I don't

[Zook]

Sorry, I don't

 

I'm happy to chip in for shipping if you guys can get a reasonable rate.

 

[edit] Maybe check LBS and see if they'll box it for you free? They usually know how the shipping works.

I have a 24-inch wheeled Giant MTB ready to be donated. If you know of a really short guy or a kid from an underprivileged background that could use the bike, let me know.

After almost 18 months of trying, someone has come to our aid and donated a kitted-out shipping container. www.speedspace.co.za very kindly came on board and converted a container into a workshop and storage facility, and delivered it to the PWC Cycle Park for us last week.

 

This new facility will allow us to be more productive, more organized and ultimately help us get more guys on bikes!

Nice Nick!!!

 

I have two 26 inch MTBs in various states of assembly. Could I drop them off at the container?

[divernick]

Yes Please!

 

You can leave them at the Bike Park reception any time. Just tell them that they're for Build a Bike.

 

Thanks a million!

Hey everyone. I need a few parts to get a couple of bikes up and running:

 

27,2mm seatposts

31.8mm stems in 70/80/90mm

Flat pedals

MTB cranks and BB's

v-brakes and disc brakes

 

Thanks again to all who have helped us with parts in the past!

We're trying to hit 100 bikes donated by the end of the year, that means we have to build and give away 34 bikes in the next 9 months.

I have some caliper brakes and a few other bits - will drop off next time I go past the bike park.
