Unfortunately my freind has had his genesis flyer stolen and is looking for something to tide him over until payday
Between us we have a full bike minus a 6 bolt cog converter/ fixed rear wheel
Also have a old carlton frame that I's badly crashed so is not ideal but worst comes to worst I can set him up with that just need a wheel or a brake to cog converter!
Looking to pay as little as possible or free

He is a key worker and rides 15 miles daily so is a real bummer!

Whereabouts is he based and what’s his bike size?

Hes located near hillingdon but I am willing to travel to sort something out for him as a surprise!
He is around 6ft
Have spoken to mrbrm and he has an old Raleigh postbike frame I'm welcome to have and is local to me.

I've got a rear wheel you can have, in Lewisham though.

The hub is a bit gritty, but it's true.

love the generosity on here! If nothing else pops up I will PM you as nearly 2 hours on the train for me
I may attempt to make a 6 bolt cog from an old casette and drilling it out has anyone tried this?

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 >

Mention another user by @username

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

```
Your code goes here
```
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.
