ballisticz4 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Before I go any further with this, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. If this is the wrong place for this, then modz will you please move to a more appropriate section. I know I haven't been here for to long and that I'm not very active on the forum, but I'm hoping that wont deter anybody who's willing to help. Now, I finally got sorted with my fork and front derailleur and also sorted my son with a secondhand Schwinn Mesa for Christmas (hence me just wanting to get a cheap derailleur for my bike, no cash left after the Schwinn!) Anyway, I would like to help get my nephew on the road with a bike as well. Funds are a bit limited on my side, so I'm hoping that anybody here could possibly help with some old parts. This rickety old bike is what he currently uses Yes, that is a 24" at the back and a 26" in front Front crank also worn out And this is what I have for him thus far, not much but better than what he currently has. So if anybody can help then please let me know, we are out in Grassy Park which is in the Mother City. I'll collect anytime. Kind regardsCedric
ballisticz4 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 Just a bump in case anybody has missed this
marko35s Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I will have a scratch around and see what bits and pieces I have around.Should have some of the smaller stuff (stem, bars etc).
Letum911 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Wish I could help Ballistic. I did a similar build for a guy last year where I used up all my spare parts. Will still go do some box diving and see if I can find anything you can use
canfan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 PM me your address and contact details, I might be able to send you some stuff. Will just have to check postage costs etc.
Barry Stuart Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 PM me your postal details, I'm flogging most of my spares and I'll send you whatever I don't sell.
ballisticz4 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Hey guys, thanx to all that offered parts, it's most appreciated. If it ain't to far to collect, then I'll pop around whenever it suites you.
marko35s Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 After a quick root around I have a set of bars, some grips, a 9 speed cassette and a 100mm stem. Pm me if you need any of them.
popcorn_skollie Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Cedric I have a bar and stem you can have.I'm not too far from you. Just PM meI also have a helmet if he needs one.If you get a set of wheels I have a set of 2.1 schwalbe tyres too.lots of life left in them and I think a tube or 2 filled with sealant
ballisticz4 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Hello guys, thanx for the help and parts. I have a problem with the from on the mongoose I have for my nephew. The damn seat post is rusted in there, can't turn it at all, so no raising or even lowering the seat post . No wonder there was a hole drilled through it, previous owner must have tried to twist it somehow.
ballisticz4 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Hoping for a whole bike? Naa, this isn't going to work quite like I expected. Guys, thanx for the offers for parts, but will no longer be taking it, it's getting to much. As Porqui said, it's now a whole bike. RegardsCeedric
