Should it have stayed there?
I just had an empty van and could not resist and I will transplant bits over from earlier Tip atrocity.

Beats decorating;-)

Jealous!! Not at the bikes, specifically, more the having an empty van and a skip!!

Free stuff is always good – especially if you can have fun fettling/tinkering and maybe even pass on to a friend/charity who needs a runaround bike.

98-99 Rock shock Judy forks – not too shabby : )

that looks like a DDG Shooter frame, if it is then you have landed a bit of a peach! Well done that man!

sure it was there for the taking?! 😯

Sure was, the Starsky and Hutch slide over another cars bonnet to catch him before he hurled it into the metal recycle container was maybe a little OTT. Owner was happy it was going to be used again – he could not be bothered with it.
I guess it's a jump/play bike. The idea is to create a 2 hour max mud SS plugger for local woods.

I will not spend any money on it.
I will not (repeat, when wife is over your shoulder)

Everyone should now about and use Freecycle – it's terrible what gets thrown away!

There's a yard near a farm close by that has loads of old cars rusting away, along with motorbikes tools and God knows what, but leant against a shed is a a stack of old drop bared bikes. I'd love to see what they are.

The bikes from our dump get sent to The Bike Station in Edinburgh who recycle them and sell them on.
Freecycle is also good, but it can be a real pain arranging collection for stuff.

You cant have them from our local recycle centre/tip. More 'Health and Safety'. I feel cosseted to death as its all got so extreme and silly.

ours get sent to the claverhouse group – which is fine but unlike the bikestation they do not sell safe bikes …. despite advertising that they meet BS standards – in many cases that i have seen they do not – by a long shot !

cool play things.

LOL. my girlfriends dad found the same model of peugeot at the tip. Put into good use as a paper/pub bike.

My collegue has rescued a Gt Chucker, in need of a crank arm and pedal .
And a Honda badged GT xc bike , plus a Sunn MBX 26" wheeled BMX cross over bike which is super sweet, even if its like a 14" frame.
Plus a cheapo FS which he ebayed for £120.
