Hi all. I hope this is the right place to post this. I spend my weekends working on this: http://akwaaba.org.uk/bikes/ where we refurbish donates bikes (in a variety of states) for a waiting list of migrants and refugees that frequent the Sunday social centre. We are looking for new donations. We are especially looking for older children/teenager bikes. If you have anything lying around in your shed you want to get rid of please get in touch. I can come collect. Looking for 'user friendly' bikes, not brakeless FG :)

Thanks.

Do you need parts as well? Might have some parts (mostly assorted 10yr+ road bike bits) that I could donate; where are you located if so?

In principle yes, but we have tons of specific spares (e.g. saddles) and storage is one of the key challenges so it would depend a bit on what you have.

Thanks for your replies. I'm in E8 and workshop in N4.

Hi ofathens... You can have this for free if you want: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/310937/

It's in working order, but ideally, it would have new front pads and possibly brake cables.

No worries if it's not what you're after.

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.
