Free Bicycle

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Wicked Uncle Nigel, Aug 30, 2005.

  1. Shite old 12 speed gent's "mountain" bike[1]. Red, it is. It's got
    lights.

    And it's free.

    It's in North Herts, near Hitchin. It *has* to be collected / UR'd this
    week, or it's going to the tip.

    [1] You probably wouldn't want to cycle up (or indeed down) the
    Matterhorn on it.

    I'd have it if it was in Brighton. I need some other form of transport.

    The tip will most likely have a recycling area.

    Sounds like too much hard work, just transplant the engine into a
    lighter chassis..

    I never use the brakes anyway. I only need them when the MOT comes
    around.

    On similar lines there's a greeny-blue one sat in my garden that would be
    rideable with some air in the tyres and the brakes adjusting.
    It's near Stourbridge , West mids should anyone want it

    Does it have a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good?

    I've got some old playing cards and a clothes peg here. Give me five
    minutes and I'll have it sounding as cool as a Harley.

    Just go for it Nigel. You know that Mr Competitive will have to get in
    front as soon as possible and at that point you just stop and watch
    the action.
