Doing up and selling bikes certainly appeals I may give that a go too.

Get a job? Zany I know.

Eh? you crazy fool!

I volunteered for drug trials when I was at Uni.
The amount they paid depended on the risk. They all involved giving vast volumes of blood.

lol I have a pretty good job, where do you think I commute to!?

 

[Wigsie]

Oh and Wigsie, bet you were the richest kid in Uni

I was, with a little help from wigsie's used car sales I had a nice car a Marin Bear Valley SE and 5 grand deposit for a house by the time I left at 21....

Although I am permanently plagued with Repetitive Strain Injury! and probably have about 500 kids out there!

With the massive price hike in components I have wondered if buying a bike and selling it in pieces is viable.

Hmmm...you would need 100% sale though :s .... could be difficult... but certain an interesting idea!

For this to work best, I guess it would have to be high end bikes - making this more of a gamble... hmmm

Go out giving out leaflets in town?
Go delivering them to houses?
I give leaftlets out in town as part of work, so dont get paid extra, but today i had to go and deliver some for the paper shop. I got drove to the area and the paper guy sat in the car waiting for me to be done, and folding more leaflets. He gave me 2 bottles of Lucozade, a chocolate bar, £10 when i had done and told me he would give me some more on sunday when i get paid for doing the paper rounds.
All that for an hours work!!!
I can also give out leaflets in town pretty darn fast I got given tips by this guy who looked like he had done the job before, and was a survey type person in town.

I can't be that good if you're thinking of fixing scrap bikes to earn extra money? ;0)

We could all do with extra money couldn't we?

Yes. I bought a bike off a mate for £80. I sold some of the parts off it, at very reasonable prices, made £60 and still had the following left:

Two Deore/Mavic wheels.
Brand new Deore front mech.
Brand new Deore rear mech.
The frame/forks.
Stem.
Bottom Bracket.
Tyres/tubes.
Seat.
Suspension seat-post.
Pedals.

So you can see that I could easily have made money if I'd sold more parts but I was happy to get the wheels and mechs for £20 :0)

How do you know? Those whores don't come cheap.
In fact they don't come at all, I've heard

I could. But I don't have a good job. If I had a good job I wouldn't want to spend three days fixing and old bike to make £30.
