Member  34  Kelowna |  Subject: Road BikeJust wondering if anyone has an old/spare/affordable road bike that they are interested in selling or possible lending/renting out. I live in Kelowna and I'm trying to track something down to use for next week's Apple Triathlon. I did my first tri at the end of July on my mountain bike and would like to try and upgrade for this race but I'm not able to spend thousands on a new road bike. Just thought I'd through it out there if anyone has old 10 speed or something in their garage the'd be willing to sell/lend or rent? Thanks in advance : ) Jo |

This alone will make a big difference. Might not hurt to post an ad on Craigslist too. |
