Up for sale are 3 bikes to be collected in Bethnal Green.
I have received 15 bikes from a friend who works for the Moroccan Children's Trust. She acquired them for free from a police auction and was planning on shipping them to south west Morocco to a children's project they run there. This proved to be too costly, so I proposed that the bikes be sold here and different ones bought with the money over there. Me and my housemate tasked ourselves with selling the bikes, which is a labour of love; we got the bikes for free and we are doing the work for free, so every penny you pay goes to the cause.
Most of the bikes we still have are basic mountain bikes and 2 retro bmxs that I assume there will be little interest for on here, but if anyone does fancy a £30 working mtb/bmx hack/runaround hit me up with a pm and i'll tell you what we have.
The pick of the rest are here, and remember you aren't just buying yourself a bike; you are buying a couple of kids bikes as well!
First up is a 24" kids Raleigh Calypso bike. Absolutely perfect condition. I'm looking for £50ono

Secondly, we have a very nice retro Dawes mountain bike. Made from Reynolds 500 tubing and with a full shimano exage group, immaculate new condition, bit of rust on the chain, but we'll buff that out. Perfect for the retro mtb enthusiast. £80ono.

Thirdly, we have a large mens hybrid bike. Exactly what you see in the photo, solid bike all round everything will be done up and in working order when it is sold (no rear puncture and new cabling). Perfect run around town for the taller rider. £100ono.

If anyone wants to pay more for the bikes (if I have underpriced) you are of course welcome, every little helps! Otherwise i'd welcome any advice as I need to get these, and the remaining mountain bikes and bmxs shifted!
