If they had been worth a tenner then I would have gladly paid it. Bet they will just end up in the scrap bin anyway if nobody claims them then the overpaid lazy worker who was sat in his little hut thinking he was in charge of the crown jewels will get nothing.

I have just tried to get a pair of 26 inch wheels from my local tip. They were lying there looking a lonely near the row of unwanted bikes and thought they would be ideal for my commuter. They weren't in good condition and needed a good clean. The wheels were a little out of true but could be...
