    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
