Wanted: All your bits and bobs to build a beater (with budget)

My cousin has recently moved to town and is as skint as any other Londoner at any given time. He is, however, an avid rider who has recently found him self bikeless (bolt cutters - so lockless too) and I cannot abide him walking to work and want to put together a beater to get him back on the road.

If anyone has any old parts that are festering in damp terrace-house gardens, clogging up hallways/sheds/attics/bedrooms/kitchens/cupboards that they are prepared to donate to this unlucky fellow I will cycle over (depending on distance) and take off your hands for you, be eternally grateful and owe you a favour. I work in Camden and live south of the river so my commute takes me most places.

I do have a budget, not very much, but open to offers should you have anything you cant donate but might sell (including lonely, old and disused builds).

Many thanks.

I have a brake lever, brown espresso saddle and some (rather wide) risers I will let go for a nominal fee. Let me know if anything is of interest

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:

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 >

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

```

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.
