Free to good home

9.8.09 Free to good home

After moving house and de-junking, we had this old bike (which would have been worth a packet back in its day – CroMo frame and Scott shocks, decked out with slicks and bar-ends).

It needs a bit of a service, but anyone with basic bike mechanic skills could have brought this baby up to speed.

What to do? – Stuff around and describe it, shoot it, list it on ebay, answer 100 dumb questions and maybe sell it for 20 bucks, only to get logistical with arranging pick up times and then deal with ‘feedback’…..

- OR -

stuff around and describe it, shoot it, list it on this blog , handwrite a dodgy sign, moderate maybe a handful of comments and dump it next to the train station so that either some commuter or passer-by can ride the thing home?

I chose the latter. The bike was gone within 20 minutes. I hope the new owner is stoked with their new wheels and that i see them riding around the neighbourhood.

I hope whoever picked it up didn’t stuff around and describe it, shoot it, list it on ebay, answer 100 dumb questions and maybe sell it for 20 bucks, only to get logistical with arranging pick up times and then deal with ‘feedback’.
