Free: GT mountain bike frame and parts (Grangetown, Sunderland) Gifted 18d - Was left abandoned outside my house. As photo, decent aluminium frame with some usable parts. Wheels were removed along with some parts as they were unfit for purpose and junked, but what is left is good and would make a nice bike so needs saving from the tip.

Free: Bike car roof rack (Grangetown, Sunderland SR2) Expired 43d - No longer used but could be ideal for someone. Very old and basic design but it relies on clamping to a crank arm rather than the bike frame so suits a lot of bikes that other racks wouldn’t be usable on.

Free: Bike wheel truing stand for vice (Grangetown, Sunderland SR2) Gifted 43d - Home made to fit a 29" wheel with quick release hub but has been used loads of times for truing and building up 20", 24" and 26" bike wheels. Has two bolts fitted which screw close to see where rim wobbles but I used yellow nylon cable ties which make a scraping noise when brushing against the rim without scratching the wheel. Simple and very basic but works well when held in a bench vice.

Free: 26” x 1.4 Michelin slick bike tyres (Grangetown, Sunderland SR2) Gifted 1y - Old and well used, one good and one not as good, but pretty much ok and still life in them.

Free: Small zip up plastic greenhouse (Grangetown, Sunderland SR2) Gifted 1y - Still in decent enough condition to use at least another year or two. Zips are fine, nothing wrong with it I just need it gone to clear the way for new decking and it won’t be going back. Pepper plants, avocados, lots of sycamore trees and a wooden trellis also needs to go.
