Default Syd: WTD, Cheap / Free Mountain Bike

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.
