NorthSideSox72 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone need a bike, for free? My old commuter/city bike is just not getting any use, so, first person who wants it can have it. The reason I am giving it away instead of selling it is, it does have one current repair need - a new pedal (I sheared it off a while back). Its a Gary Fisher HoooKooEKoo MTB, steel frame, no shocks, probably about 15 years old. I've kept it in decent repair, but the replaced parts are nothing special. Put the new pedal(s) on it and it rides just fine. Comes with road-style armadillo kevlar-bead tires to resist punctures, and an upgraded seat. Works great as a city bike, not nice enough to attract theft attention, but functional enough to get the job done. Medium sized men's frame. Who wants it?

RockRaines Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Really, nobody wants it? where are you located? Also what size? I have a road bike that is terrible for just riding around so I am interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It took me forever to get my old bike working, or I'd jump at this. Rock's lucky day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what the frame size is. I'm 6'3" and its a little small for me, so, probably the right frame for a more average height guy. I'm in Northbrook, but the bike is in Bucktown in storage at my old building (Webster/Damen or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 6'1" and on a Large frame, as that was recommended by an expert, but again, free bike is free bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride a 56 roadbike, which was alot smaller than I thought I needed until I was fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have a Trek 7500 from 2010 (15.5" frame, as I'm a smaller rider), hardtail, front lockable shocks, and all shimano gearing, including hydraulic disc breaks which are awesome. I even put schwalbe tires on the front and fear (fatter front tire/skinnier but knobbier rear), for mudding traction... I haven't ridden it in a year, unfortunately...I need to get back on it someday soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
