Fresh from the tip

Better than the Lotus I picked up recently? This’ll be moved on straight away as the fork is too short for my Kona frame and at 18” the frame is too small for me too. Still, it deserves more love than ending up in the metal skip.

Wow that’s a great find. Would love that but I think too far away..

To many folk it’s just an old bike and likely not worth the hassle of trying to flog it for £50 on fb.

I bet we have all thrown stuff away that Ti the right person is golddust.

I recently purchased a bike which was pulled from a skip also. I’m sure we would all cry if we truly knew what gets scrapped.

That's great, how much do you pay for something like that? If you don't mind me asking.

Bikes are up to £25.

If you split, I'd be interested in a chat about the forks (a pre-dib if such a thing is possible)

Weeeeeeell, I’d like the crud guards off it, the Alivio chainset and 105 mech. Possibly the DX v-brakes.

I’ll make my mind up and shift it. Fork steerer is alloy and about 190mm long.
