Small frames wanted

[Dave5N]

I am on a mission here. I am after a few older, smaller frames, preferably with all else intact, to convert to fixed for children.

No brakes involved, sensible geometry.

If anyone here who understands how to make mechanical things work well fancied a builders project to benefit local kids, I'd really appreciate your skills and time and expertise. OOP expenses paid, of course, if you need them.

Ta.

Is an old Raleigh Arena youths 10 speed racer any good to you? Probably 24" wheel.

It's not mine but is in a yard behind the Ceol Castle, Moseley Road B12 9AT open weekdays and Saturday mornings. I spotted it before christmas, the owner said take it but I decided I don't have the time or space. It was still there last Saturday. Needs work.

I know a place where old/unwanted bikes are collected in Worcestershire. What part of Birmingham are you in? If north Worcester is a reasonable distance for you I will pm the details and you can contact them to see if they can help you. They renovate bikes, and might be able to help you.

Alternatively, anybody wants to sponsor us so I can buy some shiny new Dolans?

Who and where are these kids who are going to be riding fixed?

If it's Birmingham http://www.spinwell.co.uk and http://fixuplooksharp.wordpress.com might be interested

Harborne Cycle Surgery have a stock of old steel frames - might be worth checking if they've got anything <21". Is this for the Halesowen track?

 

[Dave5N]

It is. I'll pop in there soon - not a good time at the moment.
