   Last Autumn a good number of STWers helped me out with what you can see when my bike got stolen and I was in dire financial straits. Since then things have got better for me and I'm the happy owner of a Prince Albert. So, on offer are the following:

   
   

   The frame is 17". One of the threads on the disc mount on the forks is shot so it's V brake only. The brakes need a rebuild/overhaul (not that the front can be fitted to the forks anyway!). If I find any other bits I'll chuck them in too.

   I'd prefer them to go as one lot to someone who's a bit broke and stuck without a (mountain) bike. I don't drive and getting the box they're in to the post office would be a bit of a hassle! So...if it could be picked up from Derby that would be all to the good. If no one can then I'll strap it to my back and get it to the Post Office.

   Why not flog it all and give the money to charity

   If you could post them i'd like the lot, had my Kona stolen a while back too the 'tards. If somebody could collect though it might make your life easier so it's up to you if you'd prefer somebody to collect. If not ill happily cover postage costs.

   Matt, I'm okay with covering the postage costs the problem is finding time to pack it properly - it's taken me two months to actually photograph it (young family, work, etc, etc). But I've got your name down at the head of the 'not local' list

   I've posted a link here on the thread that Brother_Will mentioned.

   Well i'd still be prepared to put some money your way for the hassle, seems unfair you doing all this for a loss! Keep me posted anyway, djukmatt@hotmail.com if i'm the lucky winner.

   You are an extremely decent fellow, Andrew. Karma and all that is one thing, decency - quite another. Respect!

   Nah matt, when people helped me out they paid for the postage so it's only fair that i sort it out this time.

   I have had an email from a charitable endeavour that I'd be quite keen to contribute to; I said that I'll probably send it their way unless someone needy and local came forward. Sorry if you feel a bit dicked around matt but the charity is for something quite close to my heart.

   Not a problem, it's your stuff and if some money is going to a good cause then it beats my needs. Thanks anyway!

    Andrew, absolutely superb of you to do this. Its a lot to claim you will do something... Actually doing it is another issue.

    Cheers

    stuart, hairychested, it's good of you to say so but, in all honesty, I'm just a stopping off point for the kindness of others. Jasonm945, rickmeister, mike-b, woody2000, orena45, ton, stevethebarbarian, the-muffin-man, fagus, stevio, effective-defective, ti_tim (all of them old forum names) gave me the chance to keep riding so it's no more than a continuation of their initial effort

    i'm thinking you might be able to sort the rear disc mount out with a helicoil. there are a few people on here who would know how to do it.

    are you in the north or south andrew? STW is currently having a pool of spare parts to put together a couple of charity bikes, i'm sure ton would be interested in that lot. drop him an email and he'll tell you what to do with it

    Andrew, to pass a good deed on isn't easy, it takes some character. Well done, fella.

    Andrew. If you find someone in the east midlands who wants / needs all this stuff, I'll offer to transport it (via the medium of my car!)

    Good on you for this by the way - I remember when you built it all up..

    Cheers

    To keep you all updated. I think I am going to take the charity option; this is the cause that I'm passing it on to:

    I am just in the middle of building a bike for the local pub as a guy there is cycling from Leeds to Liverpool on the canal for charity. We aren't exactly short of a bike but are trying to do it on as tight a budget as possible so would appreciate any help. I'll personally pay for it to be packaged and sent out if you'd post it. And I'd obviously chuck a few quid into the STW coffers as well!!

    The specific cause is Manorlands Hospice in Oxenhope which is, i believe, a Sue Ryder home and that seems pretty good to me.
