FREE: MTB

[l4dva]

Free MTB! See pic... its a steel frame about 54 cm size ( i am 5 foot 10 and fits me )

All working my friend done a 70 mile charity ride on it a few weeks ago. Apart from the front gear mech which will only stay in gear if u hold the shifter in posistion (very annoying but im sure if can be repaired) As far as i am awear the chain and casset etc are all the originals that came on the bike from new so they may need replacing as well.

You'd have to collect it from birmingham PM if interested.


I also have a roof bar bike carrier for £15 if anyones interested.

Wow can't even give this away!

It's going to the tip if no one wants, i just dont have the space to store it in my garage any more, be a shame to let it go to waste......

Shocked that no-one has bothered picking this up, I would if I didn't already have a MTB and if I had the room.

Have you heard of Cycle Chain? The details are in this article. I do not know anything about Cycle Chain, but we have a very similar, and successful set-up here in Worcestershire. I found that by searching for "Recycling bicycles in Birmingham".

Any pics of the bike carrier, name spec?

 

[l4dva]

I can't see a make or model no printed on the carrier anywhere but here are some pics...

by the looks of it the lengh of the actually carrier can be adjusted so that it can fit on different cars. The arm that holds the frame has a rubber type material to prevent the frame from being damaged and it can grip frames with large tubing like shown in the pic as well....

Your welcome to come try it out if you want

I'll be taking it to the tip this weekend if no one wants it by then

Try joining your local freecycle group and posting it on there, in my area people are always asking for bikes.

Cycle Chain have moved, you have a pm with the details. The Digbeth Trust link was out of date.

was just about to suggest the same thing. Both offered and wanted bikes come up very regularly on the one I belong to.

I was going to suggest re-cycle but they're a bit far away, however their site has these suggestions

Hi

I'll take it. I think it is the right size for my friend and colleague...I am trying to get him to take up cycling.

I am based in Edgbaston.
