I have an habit of collecting old bikes. Those of you who know me may find this a little strange to know. haha.

I try to limit myself to a max half a dozen 'keepers' at any one stage, so with new acquisitions and those I've repaired/rebuilt I usually have a few going to spare. I am not really into selling, especially on fucking trademe, as it always ends in me feeling a little yuck or anxious (even at less that market value). Way more interested to see bikes going to a good home on an extended loan or other such plan. Koha is nice though. Um. I'm a mess. Sorry.

Basicly if anyone is looking for a sweet old bike, or if a mate in the future mentions they are looking for something, then give us a bell. I usually have something going - or can look out at work. Some arrangement can be reached.

Currently I have a few:

1] 1980s Belgian bike in a '50s Dutch style. Suit a tall, thin female (frame is in good condition at the moment but due to the design wouldn't hold up longterm for someone too heavy)

2] California Cruiser style bike, 8 speed derailer needs some tweaking - ie: is currently 3 speed, was going to matt black and convert to coaster brakes but really can't be bothered putting the effort in. (Frames a tad too small anyway)

3] Shitty old mid 90s "Ridgehopper" mountain bike. Suffering from lack of use and from being a dumb mountain bike but other than that fine.

Have a few projects and spare frames lying about too that I might be happy for the right person to take over.
