I've had a chat with them, cos I was hoping to copy the business model into another social enterprise (which is what they are) operating in London.
*That and the fact that I missed out on those brampton hubs which were just what I was after (for the flip flop thing, but in hindsight, not much cheaper than a used knacked set of campag records currently on there). *
They have a very interesting deal with their regional waste suppliers (Billa i think, not Billa poster here!) who just give 'em all the bike bits dumped in tips etc. as part of their land fill tax credit scheme and then Environ train people to recycle bikes back into life and then back to the community.
The more choice bits get whacked up on ebay and pays towards the staff salaries. I'm not sure how scaleable that is across the UK, but its a great idea.

Yes it would be excellent to see that being done at every rubbish tip in the land wouldn't it. Maybe the Hackney scheme (name?) who train kids in bike mechanics should be getting into that . My mate Wig bought a lovely 80s Mercian audaxy thing for peanuts from them a while back. Lovely! And it's not adding to the demand for new bikes, its a very cool scheme as you say snowy_again.
You sure you wanted the Bramptons though? the free side was for 5 speed right? I have a lo-flange BHC one of those. One of the girls at Brick Lane Bikes was going 'what the f's that it's amazing!' when i was riding it fixed with the 5 cog still on there. Not unusual in that era for road/path.

I saw that earlier. One of the best looking merckx frames I've ever seen. Just a tiny wee bit too big for me tho! (5"9)
You should hold out for a good price on that cos I know a fair few earners who'll pay for it! I'll link it on my club forum...
