Pay it forward - Donate Your Old Gear to a Newbie (no requests pls) (Page 8)

I think key here is it is at the discretion of the giver. Though I started the thread, it's best that things be decided among us all as the BT community.

I have a cervelo (selle italia i think) saddle someone can have for the price of shipping. Reply to this in the thread and PM me to get it.

My sit area would love to try a new saddle. My current saddle is the only one I've had and I'd like to try something different. If I like it I will offer up my current saddle on here or if I don't like it I will post this one back on here.

Do you have any idea on shipping to Central Illinois and do you have paypal?

Thanks,
Chris

I have paypal. Just PM me your address, and I'll take it to the post office tomorrow and let you know what shipping is. Im guessing around $5.

No crybabies, no whiners. Grow up people.

I have given away many things, and have gotten some (really neat ones) as well. I don't see it as a "fairness" issue, the spirit of this thread is that some of us have extra stuff we don't need, and some of us have needs for stuff. This is a nice virtual swap meet that in the spirit of the thread, seems to be working. Just because someone is not following the thread and log in after the fact and miss something, that's a shame, I wish there could be more to go around,. keep an eye on BT or you may miss out. There are no sore losers - this is not a race, and people are not entitled to get what is in the thread, people are being nice here. People are being kind. It's the time of year. Don't request something that you don't have a use for. If you do have a use for something, and someone is offering it, ask for it. And afterwards, be sure to thank the person you got the item from (I have several emails on the way myself - my surgery has me moving slowly).

I've paid out of pocket to ship several items, as well as paid out of pocket to have some shipped to me as well. That is just a matter of what you work out between the giver and the reciever.

It'll all come down to Karma in the end, and I think my Karma is in the positive at this point.

Just for the record, I still have the following:

I have the following - aside from cranks, all look pretty much new:

8 speed Sunrace 12-24 cassette
Sprocket wheels for Shimano rear derailler
Tektro Brake Levers (not sti)
Tektro Inline Cyclocross bar top brake levers (and I have the original split brake cable housing)
Downtube shifters
square taper BB spindle (only the spindle/bearings - cups were destroyed)
700c Steel Fuji fork
Fuji OEM triple crank arms (sprockets may or may not be straight) square taper

If anyone has the following and does not need it, I'd appreciate the following:

9 or 10 speed cassette (shimano), to go on my trainer rim.

First come/first serve based on the order I get email. I'd prefer emails to:

tj at coachtj dot com

If you can't email, send me a PM.



and a Adidas Torsion TT suit - this is NOT suitable to swim in, but would be great for a duathlon. Size L - fits me fine, I'm 5' 8" 180#. Silk screen graphics coming off - but aside from that it's a good suit.



And as always, I have tons of IStraps available. This is the velcro attachment to connect your Nike+ foot pod to your non-Nike shoe.

If you need any of this stuff, just PM or email me at tj at coachtj dot com. If you don't need any of this stuff, let it be for the next person to read the thread.

Anything coming from me is taking a couple of weeks, due to a vertigo/sinus surgery/really good meds issue. I am shipping as quickly as I can, but i just move slow lately.

Is that a seat post in the picture? I don't see it listed in the list. I'm in need of one.

Seat post and calipers are gone, as are several sets of iStraps - though I have plenty velcro left for iStraps left.

I do have to agree with what a lot of people have said as far as only asking for the product if you can use it or need it. I think this thread is great for someone like me who is starting out and getting a lot of great products that I will use in future training and races. Then once I have something that I dont use or need I too will place it on this post and give it to the next person that can use it. I hope people are not being greedy.
Happy Holidays

Happy hoho to you too Chris, TT Suit outbound to you once you PM me your postal info.

Surely someone has a seatpost sitting around to help this guy along? I'll go digging through my pile-o-stuff and see if I have another, but I doubt it. If the rest of you can go check your pile for a seat post, I am sure Caincando1 would be appreciative.

re: the seatpost
what size? diameter & length

Are the brims soft or hard because I have one that is soft and I hate it because it is too flexible. But that is just my 2 cents.

chris

I collect specific hats both soft and rigid brim- in particular if it has a moose or is somehow moose-related (cartoonish, a saying, a label, etc.) I'd be happy to help you make space for new hats.

They are all rigid.  Similiar to the one I have on in my Avatar.  And I belive I have one that has a Moose on it (Christmas themed).  Might be a Reindeer.

close enough pm sent

I have a visor that someone talked me into to keep sweet out of the eyes. i dont like the head poking out of the top look. do the hats do a good job at keeping sweet out of the eyes? Iif you have enough I could use one... PM sent

I have a pair of older style Look pedals if anyone wants them.
I got them from someone on BT last summer and got a new set for b-day before I had a chance to use these.
Perfect for anyone wanting to try this style, preferably newbies.

PM if you want them - donation for shipping (5$) would be greatly appreciated
