Mountain bike for free

[cabbieman]

Having a bit of a clear out. I have an old mountain bike I bought second hand off a mate about 5 years ago for £20. It's obviously not a top of the range jobbie but it maybe usefully to someone. It all works ok but could do with a bit of tlc. I fitted schwalbe road tyres on as I was using it on the road occasionally but it will come with a couple of knoblys as well. 21 gears on a triple sin.
Located in Old Arley north Warwickshire

Especially since smokey is 6' 5" tall!

Generous offer, @cabbieman. It would probably help to find a new owner if you were to tell us how big the bike is. I'm sure that it will be too small for smokey, but it is hard to tell from a photo what size it is.

 

[cabbieman]

Sorry guys. It's 22" according to the seat post

Aye it'd be a bit wee for little old me

thats a decent size for an mtb

 

[cabbieman]

I'm 5'8" and it's fine. The seat post goes up a fair way so should be good for a 6 footer easy enough.

Isnt it frustrating when you cannot even give something away.

Good on you for offering though.

 

[cabbieman]

I know. Il offer it elsewhere for cyclists and if no luck I'll offer it on the local free pages for my area but I know from past offerings there will be the usual people trying to get everything they can for free. Their names keep popping up over time and you just know they're trying to make money out of it. I could probably get £20 easily but I'd rather it go to someone who needs it. Then again, if I do offer it for sale at least that will keep some of the chancers away.

Ask your local school to see if they could give it to one of their students that would benefit from it.

I am tempted tbh but at 5 foot 7 " and i only run 86 cm from pedal to saddle or 69 cm to BB with 170 mm cranks

Gone to my bro in law who needs the exercise. With 5 kids under 7 I don't know if he'll get any time tho

 

[flake99please]

It could be just what he needs for a little 'escape'.
