Syd: WTD, Cheap / Free Mountain Bike

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france).

Hi

I know it's a long shot, but I'm looking for a cheap / free mountain bike,
to take 26 inch wheels, with a frame to suit a 6 foot guy.

It doesnt have to be complete, frame fork and cranks are all I need really,
though if it is complete it's a bonus!

I can pick up within 25k's of the sydney CBD!

I can be contacted at kjparker @ iinet . net . au

Thanks again!

Keith

Are you aware of FreeCycle? Many groups in Sydney.

ReUseIt (Yahoo Groups) seems to be much more widely used.....

There is also a group called RecycleIt.
There was a falling out between various sydney list mangers and the new
controllers of Freecycle, so they set it up.

If it isn't full of begging (wanted) posts like the others are/were, then
it would be highly preferrable.

I only ever used Sydney North ReUseIt in the past to get rid of things prior to
a house move, but I was put off by the cheap-arse don't want to spend money on
anything freeloaders putting in orders for just about everything.

Thanks, I have subscribed to those, lets see what eventuates!

I got some other stuff to get rid of as well... Might be a good way...
