Hi, I've bought a bike on eBay thinking Derby was closer than it actually is, so I was wondering if anyone is able to collect and post a bike for me (to York).

I'd pay petrol/whatever and buy you a pint.

Cheers

Have you seen train fares recently? I have a car, I just don't fancy schlepping it down there for one bike.

I've tried the guys in retrobike who offer to collect stuff but no joy.

Clockwise

Put it in a bike box and post it?

PM'd. An alternative would be someone who goes between Derby area and the North, I can meet in Leeds or something. It's just the 4 hour round trip I'm trying to avoid.

What size bike is it? Can I ride it home?
I live in Nottingham.
PM me.

It's a Mixte, but I'm not sure it's ridable. It's in Breaston, so about 7 miles out of Nottingham I think.

I'll PM you details.

Pm'd back. Only issue for me is timing of couriering it out to you.
Hope to be able to help, but its a busy week.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
