• I'm going to need to lock my bike up all day in Central London for the next few months so I'd like to take a beater – I lost £130 of components when I locked in a similar location for just two hours last weekend.

    There's the possibility that I'll only need this temporarily so I'd like to throw something together that doesn't cost much at all. If anyone has anything freecycle that'd be even better; when it's no longer needed I'd be happy to return or pass on.

    All parts/frames/builds welcome whether fixed, singlespeed, geared, mtb, shopper or frankenbike.

    Please let me know what you have.

    Thanks.

  • http://www.lfgss.com/thread104764.html beater saddle and post, prob got some cheapo good calipers too. 25mm Gatorskins cheap. PM me

  • I've got some pedals, with metal clips and cristophe straps in good working condition I could do for £12?

  • Hi, I'm new to LFGSS. I'm selling this faithful single-speed (coasting, not fixie) as building a new one. Nothing too special but nice parts - 56cm 1960s 531 racing frame, bit chipped but otherwise good nick, new-ish (one year old) components, inc brakes, 700C Ambrosio pista wheels (cost over £150 on their own) and Bontrager tyres. Lovely little ride. Looking for £200. Let me know.

  • I've got a bunch of beater stuff that I'm happy to pass on for cheapz. Calipers, saddle, bar stem, wheels, BB, cranks etc.

    I've even got a rusty old cannondale frame (about a 56 square ctc) which I think is sound. You can have it for a bottle of beer if you come and pick it up. It's got a stem seized into the forks and (idiotically) I bent the forks try to remove it. You could cut it off with a hacksaw and fit new forks though.

    PM me to let me know what you need.

  • Thanks all, will keep a note of all parts offered but will try and source a frame first so I know what's what.

  • Why not ask for a forum donation on freecycle parts? #spiritodeforum

  • ^ Yep, I'm happy to donate to the forum for freecycle parts!

  • Hi there

    New to the forum but thought I'd post.

    My wife's old cannondale frame is just hanging in the shed. You're welcome to it if you're happy to cover postage.
