My 13 year old son is keen to collect the bits and build a bike. He does have some money to spend on it, but not a lot.
I am assuming quite a few people on the forum have bike bits in their garage that they might be willing to sell on. Any offers or suggestions welcome.
Thanks

I've got some shifters and a rear mech, can't remember if the shifter is 6 or 7 speed and one of them is missing a screw for the cover...

Thanks everyone for the offers so far. Am definitely taking up Gwyn's offer of the frame, but been too busy to pick up so far. Will be in touch with the others when I find the time to sort this out.

If you need a headset for that and it needs semi-integrated let me know. Got an fsa zs1 that I'm loathe to throw away as I bought a new crown race for it. Random stem spacers I can sort you out with aswell.

Slow progress so far. Something to do over the winter.
Gwyneth gave us a great start with an excellent frame, forks and brakes for a good price. Forks are in bits at the moment and the jury is out on whether they can be saved.
ilovedirt - sorry I missed your post because we were on holiday. I suspect he will want one of the pairs of peddles. Will PM you when he gets home from school. Main things we need now are wheels. Have been offered some, but given the lack of urgency we are holding out for a bargain. Also, need seat post and clamp; and handlebar.
Thanks

Hi Ross Those items are some way down the priority list at the moment. I think we have most covered, but thanks anyway.
