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 [url= http://www.thebikestation.org.uk/ ]The Bike Station in Edinburgh[/url] 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.
