We have bikes ranging from $50-$1200 to give away. I have stuff all over, but still needing parts to finish. Wheel sets, Cranks, Pedals, seat post (newer sizes). V brake sets.

i dont know how the whole give bikes away thing works, but it would seem you
could get far more stuff if you sold the higher end bikes and parts to finance
the lower end parts you need to finish more bikes.

i would think the name of the game would be to get the most kids riding.

and new parts are going to be hard to get donated. my son has never even owned a new bike
and ive only owned one.

The only problem with the above is companies have given these parts - selling the parts or whole bikes to be used for other parts of the charity muddies the water of what a company gave and how the item was used.

If you give some items, wouldn't you have a problem with seeing those items on a bike that is then for sale on E-bay?

a john debruin post gets 20 pages of replies in one day but this guy gets no love ??

pm your addy and I will send you what small parts I have laying around, pedals brakes etc...

The higher end race bikes exc.. will be given out all across the country with track directors help. The will tell me the kid and size, and i will send them what i have at random. The lower end stuff will be to local charities. I want to get kids into racing. Walmart bikes yes i could get more, but no one races them. I want kids to race, compete, and have a goal. The lower end bikes will be bikes for kids who have nothing local and just want a bike, and dont care about racing. All are being built for people on rough times. I also have freestyle and dirt..

GOT 2 STANDARDS DONATED TODAY. JUST FRAMES!!!

BUMP

STILL IN NEED OF $ DONATIONS. NEED TO BUY PARTS TO FINISH NOW LIKE 5 BUILDS WORTH OF ODDS AND ENDS. EVEN IF IT IS $5.00 A PERSON IT WOULD ADD UP FAST. THINK OF ALL THE KIDS FACES. ASK AROUND ON VINTAGEBMX IF YOU THINK IM A DUDE SCAMMING, IM A LIL WELL KNOWN ON THERE..

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME..

it would be awesome if you were setting up a junior team of amateur riders who cant afford this sport and sponsor them to compete , having a team on these bikes on the track would bring you a lot more recognition for your cause

bIKES ARE GOING OUT AROUND XMAS TIME. IF YOU GO TO VINTAGEBMX.COM AND GO TO THE EVERYTHING ELSE SECTION, YOU WILL SEE PARTS, PROGRESS, WHAT WE NEED, WHAT WE LACK, NEWSPAPER ARTICLES. NOTHING TO HIDE, I POST IT ALL FOR ALL TO SEE. YES IT WOULD BE COOL TO START MY OWN LIL TEAM....HMMMMMMM
I DO HAVE CONNECTIONS YES, BUT BEING THE END OF THE YEAR, EVERYONE IS ALL DONATED OUT OR PAST THERE QUOTA FOR THE YEAR, SO I GOT ALOT OF NO'S OR NEXT YEAR WE WILL. THEY WAS THIS IS GOING. I MAY DO IT NEXT YEAR TOO. VERY HARD WORK FOR SURE. VERY HARD, LOTS OF TIME, LOTS OF EMAILS, CALLS, EXC...


BUT TO A KID, THE SMILE ON HIS FACE WILL BE WORTH IT!!!

THANKS GUYS
