Anyone know of any decent scrap yards/flea markets etc. in the Manchester/Stockport area where I might pick up some old cheap bike bits. I'm specifically after some forks and drop handlebars, condition and quality not really an issue. Hoping I might be able to find a beaten up old frame collecting dust in a market somewhere and pick it up for a couple of quid, but I don't really know where to go to look.
I've been to Smithfield market before and it's not a bad place to look, but it does tend to be more bulk tupperwear and cheap batteries than proper rummaging opportunities. I've also tried the local tip and a few Stockport scrap yards, but they said they rarely see bike parts. Any other ideas..? (everyone's going to say eBay now, right?!)
Cheers.
