They might have been stripped for parts by local urchins.
-
is it a misguided attempt to donate them to the shop?
-
Sorry I've no space and unfortunately not much time to go back for them. Whne might you get by?

Just on the stripping - what I didn't mention is that there are three bikes, all with various bits and bobs on , with some things missing and other things included, which if it was purely about stripping you'd have had them away. There are also 4 wheels, 3 of which are fairly decent. My money is on the bike shop. There will be denials as it's 'fly tipping'. It's not the first time this has happened.

Free Look KG381 frame & fork and Dolan (?) frame - caution
Posted by

Just popped out for lunch and saw a couple of frames by some bins near me. It's just behind the BM lifestyle premises (dry cleaners), down the alley way and turn tight. You can't miss them. Link below shows location (London SW14)

It's a Look KG 381 frame and forks. A little bit scruffy but I couldn't see any major issues. The Dolan frame is a road one and I couldn't see a model number.
Only word of caution is the source of the frames. I suspect they've been thrown out by the local 2nd hand bike shop so they could be garbage. My cautionary glance (no expert) suggested otherwise. The shop mainly sells shoppers and low end hybrids so this may simply be a case of wrong market.
If you fancy a decent beater frame fro free you could do worse than swing by. Bins are often collected on a Monday so these may stay in place but others may move them on. I'd save them but have little no room.
Struggling to upload a picture but will attempt in a bit.
