Brilliant stuff. Always amazed at what people just throw away. Got Mrs c00ps' Marin mtb the same way.

A neighbours son moving in to a new house and found these in the garage. They were just going to skip them. Praise the lord for non-cyclists.

Found this in a skip a few years ago

Turned out to be a replica of a tdf race winner, built with Columbus sl, suntour dropouts and a cinelli bb shell.
After some tlc ended up with this

Always check skips now, you never know what you might find.

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

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

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
