Hey folks,
I am in the Melbourne and I have about 10 - 15 second hand bikes in good
order that I want to get rid of for a couple of cartons of beer or
something. Any takers?
If not, does anyone know of a good charity to give them to?




There's also a bloke who is Cranbourne, I think it used to be called
Santa's workshop. They take bikes and fix them up and take them to
underpriviledged kiddies for Xmas.

Can;t remember the number though - BV should have it.

Contact Bicycle Assist, a charity group who collect and restore old bikes

to
send to needy people in developing countries. Their recent focus has been

on
East Timor, with collections being held in Melbourne and other cities.

Sorry, just a bunch of average racers that are a couple of decades old, but
still in good order. All anyone wants is mountain bikes and high end racers
nowadays.
