divernick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Parts wishlist: 1-inch threadless headset2x stems for 1-inch threadless steerers10-speed chain9-speed chains9 or 10-speed STI leversRoad bike bars Let me know if you can help! Thanks!
divernick Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Why don't you build a road bike with straight handle bars and use MTB shiters, the shifters aren't that scarce? I finally got a bike built up from parts: (used your flat bar idea)
divernick Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 I got new pedals today, so my old ones are being donated.... I'm still looking for 9 and 10 speed chains. Anyone got some lying around?
Tokyo Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 If you need Ideas of how to donate the bikes why not work though a orgnization like the Jacaranda Children's Home, I think donating a bike to a child who does not have perants to buy them a bike is truly nobal as I am sure for most of us that is exactly where we got out first bike.

Jacaranda Children's Home has a proper cycling squad, the head of the house is a cyclist and he started cycling with some of the "problem kid's" to give them something constructive to do, they now have a team taking part in races etc. They would definitely use it. I can put you in touch with the right people if you want.

divernick Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 I contact Jacaranda Childrens Home and will be donating some bikes to their cycling initiative. More info soon..... I have loads of MTB parts, but no frame to build them on to. Anyone have an old dusty MTB frame lying around that needs a new home?
divernick Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Thanks to Ride4yaLife for sending me 2 front derailleurs, a cassette, chain and BB! Much appreciated!
divernick Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Thanks to Rockhopper for donating a steel road frame and fork, saddle, disc hub, LX rear hub, dual control mtb shifters, mechanical disc caliper, some mtb slicks, some various rims and spokes. Much appreciated! Now I desperately need one or 2 MTB frames to build up into complete bikes. I also need chains, road bars, STI levers and 1-inch threadless headset and 2 stems.
divernick Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Can anyone help with a stem for a 1-inch threadless steerer?
