Swaps and Karma Thread
Lots of new people at last nights session! Lets help them get set up asap with some free parts. Emma and Slyvia have just ordered new pompino frames but they need all the other bits. Lets do a list of any bits you have to donate for free:
Chan - black risers, white saddle, grips
I will go down to the cellar and see what I have available...
grips, seatpost clamp, cotterless bb (need to check size), platform pedals.
wondering what length the threaded crank arm on the loaner was?? I'll bring a replacement next week.
As Chan just mentioned I have just bought this frame in the garish green!
(size medium)

Grips
Pedals, plastic bmx
Seat post

Brake lever & caliper
Brake cable
Chain, singlespeed 1/8th
Saddle
Also if I have forgotten anything can you let me know, Thank you!
If anyone needs any chains or any smallish generic stuff fairly cheaply, I can get it from work at trade usually, just hit me a PM or email with what you need and I'll get it, chains are something like £3 new I think?
(Wont be making a profit from it btw, just offering getting parts that need to be new for cheaper than shops if people need them)
Thats awesome, will be in touch for small stuff once I have my big stuff sorted!
I quite like the green, the one I built Kirsty looks quite good. Happy (for a few quid) to build you wheels if you get the bits.
You probably want to add a freewheel matching the size of your chainring to that list Emma.
any chance some one has a pipe cutter i could use to chop some steel bars down?
picked up a cheep bike to play on for now till i have chance to build something but need to take a couple of inches of the bars
i have andytk's cutters, i'm sure he won't mind if we use it on the court next tuesday or thursday.
That's cool (Salman, when are you back in Manc?)
Emma, only just seen this, I think I can sort you out with a rear calliper, lever, cable, saddle and possibly a stem, will bring down a bag of stuff on Sunday and you can pick and choose!
Cheers Andy :)
Surely a hacksaw will be better on steel bars, the pipe cutters are usually only meant for copper/alu unless it's a special one.
Will try and bring a hacksaw too, pipe cutter has worked on steel bars pretty well so far though.
Pompino lovers -

I've cut some open prisons with a pipe cutter before but it takes an age and blunts the blade.
Fair enough, it's only a cheap cutter so I'm not too bothered about it, can't find my hacksaw either.
Im slowly getting the stuff together, so if anyone has anything from that list below or knows where i can get it cheap that would be amazing.
Headset 1 1/8 inch,
Bottom bracket, 68 shell
Stem
seat post
Seat clamp
Brake lever (just having a rear one)
