    For my roommate Cassady. She gets in to PDX tomorrow and her bike will be shipped to her sometime next week, so she just needs a bike for a few days. Anything frm 55-57cm works, really.

    Doug, what size is the pdxfixed loaner? I have a feeling it's too big...

    It's just so she can get around town, so anything will work. Thanks!

    Really? Wordddd.

  2.  

    it's a 57 i think. has a really short top tube. if she can stand over it, she'll be fine.

  3.  

    needs a brake.

    Word, I have a brake she can throw on it. That'd be totally perfect. I can grab it when I come over tomorrow morning to build my bike?

    Thanks dude!

  4.  

    yep. also needs some bar tape.

    I'd like to institute a "better than you found it" rule , ya know air in the tires, no flats, chain wiped and lubed..etc... something little.

    or meaning maybe toss on some bartape. or a brake. then it's in better shape for the next time.

    whatcha think?

    Use of free bike for some bar tape?
    How much does it cost to actually rent a bike? I bet over $30. So for several days at the price of maintaining it and bar tape is generous.

  5.  

    how about just wipe the dust offa it

    Hey all,

    I have a friend coming into town either this weekend, or next weekend, and she will be in need of a loaner bike for a few days. If anyone has something around 50-55, and can part with it for a few days, I'll buy you a taco.

    Thanks in advance!

    We can switch the parts from the GTB to jeezy's old pista.. should be small enough.. we did that for the last guy who borrowed the loaner bike.

    Hey guys, on the 5th of January my girlfriend will be in town. She rides a 57, but a 55 would be her ideal size. Might I be able to borrow a bike from the 53-57 range?

    It would be for approximately 15 days.

    i may has.

    I have an extra bike Im workin on. It's a 57, but it has no brakes. This would be fine, but it's also SS. So it needs either a cog (if anyone wants to ride brakeless) or a brake. I might have it done by the time u needs kelly. If anyone else needs let me know...

    PS It is a HUGE piece of shit. But it works.

    BRINGING BACK OLD THREADSSS

    friend needs a bike to ride, around 60cm, geared or no geared doesn't matter! plz let us know ASAP.. whispers or call doug preferably cuz ill be at work. we will compensate you in beers or something else desirable.

    I have a 59cm pista that ya'll can borrow. It will need some parts though. ( Cranks / BB ) and the fork's a little bowed out, but dougie can probably fix that too. Oh, and 1'' headset spacers.

    ...they're just short. haha. and thats why i said it was a long shot, i didn't think people would be able to.

  11.  

    So now I too have an old friend who just got into town. He's here for a couple weeks. He's 5'7". Anyone have a loaner for all or part of the next couple weeks? He doesn't want a fixed gear. Just like a townie type rig. I can give some collateral too if you don't know me or whatever.

    Anything would be rad. Thanks!
