Pay it forward - Donate Your Old Gear to a Newbie (no requests pls) (Page 26)

GONE! ALL GONE! Several of you have PMs. Thanks for helping me unload this stuff that never gets used. Put it to good use.

I have a Forerunner 201 with charger that is for someone who needs it and will pass it on when they are done.

Also a Timex Marathon watch.

I don't use either now that I've upgraded my equipment.

PM with which you want and where to send. Will send out later this week (travelling now).

PM sent on the Forerunner... Thanks!

Forerunner gone

Very cool...

If anybody has anything that would benefit me....PLEASE let me know. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...also if anybody could point me in the direction of how to get a cheap good road bike, that would be awesome. I live in GA if that helps? Thanks in advance.

Welcome!  Hope you find lots of helpful information on this website!!!  It is truely a wealth of information.

Just so you know, this is generally viewed as a post where stuff is not asked for, but given.  It is not a strictly enforced rule, just a "code" that most of the individuals on this website abide by.  This is something I generally end up bringing up, so I mean no offense, just thought you should know, and it's always good to restate for everyone to read.

If you're looking for a cheap bike, head to www.bikesdirect.com.

If you're looking for cheap gear, head to www.ebay.com.

not a big deal, you certainly aren't the first.  You didn't know, so it's fine.

Again, welcome, and hope to "see" you around the site in other threads!

Adam,

Welcome to BT!!  Check out the Ga Forum: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=39#s

You'll find BT very beneficial I think.

Sorry!  Nothing to be sorry for!  You didn't know!  I just didn't want others to do the same, and it spiral out of control.

I really hope, in hindsight, that I didn't make this site sound intimidating, or unwelcoming.  I hope you use all the *power* of this site to your benefit!
