Freecycle: Saracan Road Bike (rescued from bin!) (Sheffield)

I just went to take the rubbish outside and found some retard neighbour had dumped a whole bike in our bins!

It is a Saracen, aluminium frame. 8spd Sora brifters. Not sure the wheels match, because they are 7spd! Compact chainset. It fits me quite well and I'm 6ft. It needs a bit of TLC to get it roadworthy, but it just pedalled around the car park alright.

I can't bear to see this go into the bin so have rescued it for freecycling! (I have 4 bikes already so my flat is a bit full for a 5th!) If I've written enough above to convince someone this is the bike for you, and you can come and collect it from central Sheffield, let me know!

If not I can add some photos or more info or answer any Qs. I would also happily strip it down and freecycle the bits, and post them too, if people will cover postage costs.

It's a Saracen Tour, 57cm

This looks pretty similar:

Spec is for 16 gears so yep I reckon the wheels are wrong, the perp must have thrown out a frame and some spare wheels.

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

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

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
