• Hi

    Long time absent on here but hopefully the forum can come to the rescue.
    My friend was involved in a hit and run on Mitcham Road today, she was taken out by a lorry on the roundabout by the Ravensbury. Driver did one, thankfully the van behind stopped to assist and police/ ambulance weren't far behind. The truck tyre marks on the side of her leg suggests lucky escape.

    Long and short is that the bike now looks like this...
    Totally beyond repair. And she is devastated. She's currently furloughed and lives alone so i've promised to try and help her get back on the road.

    Requirements are:

    • New frame! She likes her little Peugeot mixte so something similar. She's 5' 3" but will send me measurements of the frame when she can.
    • New rear wheel... its the original 700c, screw block, front is a newer raleigh one from CycleKing (£30ish and seems fine despite crash)
    • New crankset. This melted like cheese. Double, Square taper. I think the existing was whatever came with it originally. No idea on chainring size at this point.
    • New pedals. Flat and metal. That's the two key features it seems.

    I'm hoping that's all that needs replacing.
    If anyone has anything, let me know please.
    Monies are tight, i won't lie, this is more me just trying to help someone out.

    Thanks

  • You might be better off getting a full bike seeing the amount of parts needed?

    I have a free rear wheel you can have, it is spaced at 135mm so you will need to re-space and most likely re-dish.

  • Yeah i was hoping id be able to recycle a lot of the parts onto a similar frame for her.
    She just likes this and isn't keen on buying a newer bike... This cost £25 originally, and i just cleaned it up for her
