Recommended Posts

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.

 

Nick. Do you have any way of getting a MTB frame from Dbn to Jhbg?

 

Please PM me. I 'aint 'watching' this thread.

Hey RudoJ! Thanks for the helmet, pedals and bottle cage!

 

I will have the "Donated by Build-a-Bike" stickers by the end of the week and will then be donating a handful of bikes!

2 bikes that are 1. Almost done and 2. need some parts.

 

The Wheeler just needs an Octalink crankbolt for the left crank arm and it's good to go.

The Bianchi needs a Campy crankset, RD, brake and shift levers, chain, bar tape, 1-inch headset and then it's good to go.

Thanks very much to Tedibear for his kind donations yesterday. He gave a nice Cannondale frame, some sorely needed STI levers and some other bits and bobs.

 

Much appreciated!

OK, so the new year has started and I am under pressure from the wife to clear out some of the bikes and parts that I have acquired since starting this initiative.

 

I have decided to sell off some of the goodies to finance some parts that I need to complete some project bikes.

 

SO....

 

Currently for sale is a CUBE Stereo dual sus frame, size L with headet, FD, seatpost and Fox RP23 shock in nice condition. I'll accept all reasonable offers. I'll be posting a classified ad aswell.
