Pay it forward - Donate Your Old Gear to a Newbie (no requests pls) (Page 28)

This thread is really for just giving away items.  Some individuals ask for compensation for shipping, but often not.  This really isn't a thread to sell something.  If you want to sell or trade your shirt you should post it in the general classifieds.

Again, no harm done, just letting you know the general purpose of this thread.  This is why someone pm'd you and asked for it.

I am not the original poster of this thread, so if I am wrong someone is more then welcome to correct me.

Thanks!

That being said I have some very well used Speedplay Zero cleats- first person who wants them gets them.  I've also got a leg length discrepancy kit to go with them.

   I have a womens TYR tri suit available.  It is a dark purple color with orange and pink stripes and a white mesh back.  I wore it for one race and its too short for me.  The inseam is 4" for the leg.  I am 5'9" and 145lbs, fit was good except the torso length was not right.  I am just too tall for this suit.  I paid $80 in late summer 2007.  Free to a good home if you will reimburse for shipping.

Well, I just have to say that I LOVE Pay it Forward.  So if you are feeling jaded, just know that it has helped me (and I'm sure many others) immensely.  I received a pair of running shoes that I just wore in my first triathlon (thanks keyone!).  They were definitely needed and while I don't have much to pay it forward, I would like to give what I do have...

I have an XL womens' cycling jersey that just doesn't fit me quite right.  I've only tried it one a couple times...never worn on a ride. (I still have the tags). 

To view the jersey, visit this link...

Please note that the color of this jersey is turquoise, not pink as pictured.

I both received and given, and let me tell you, I LOVE my bike shorts I got from here.  LOVE.  and without this thread, I wouldn't have gotten new bike shorts. 

 I'll never forget the GPS that was give away here.  I sat there, no one had  claimed it, and it was listed like 2 seconds before I got on...and I thought, damn, I totally want that.  But I have one, got it for a birthday present, and the thought of taking this one made me so guilty feeling I knew I could never.

I would only hope others would do the same.

I would feel no offense if someone questioned my need for an item, I think that is a good thing- making sure it goes to who needs it most.  If you're asking for it, you should really need it.

Still can't get over the generosity on this site, honest.  I really surprise me ( a HRM, clothing, parts and a GPS?????   WOW!!!)

I was lucky enough to pick up a Forerunner 201 (from originalkid).  I had been wanting to get a Forerunner but really couldn't afford one, so it pretty much made my entire month.  I use it ALL THE TIME and love it so much.  My wife hates it, which is always a good sign that it's getting a lot of use...

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that one of the big giveaways on here is being put to good use, and if I ever find that it's not, you know where to look to pick it up from me!

Not much, but I have two swimming caps (never used) that are really nice (silicone). They are made by View swimming products, one is black and the other is white.  I also have a pair of Zoggs goggles that have never been used.  If you need any of these or all of these let me know and I will get them out in the mail to you. 

Thanks,

Jared

I have probably over 30 swim caps if you want one.  It won't be new, but it will be free.
