Free: Raleigh Bedlam kid's bike with 24inch wheels (Woodlands TW7) The gears on this bike are working, as is the front brake, and the tyres seem to hold air (just pumped them up). There are no brake blocks on the back brake or grips on the handlebars though. Collection near West Thames College, TW7 post code area.

Free: Metal containers in various sizes (Woodlands TW7) Gifted These containers have bicycle puncture repair kits inside them but they've been sat in a cupboard at a bike workshop for ages and when I tried one of the kits, the glue didn't seem to work as well as the stuff found some of the more modern puncture kits. If you can use the metal containers though (whether you take one or all), please get in touch. Collection from Isleworth, TW7 post code area, near Busch Corner.

Free: 5 LED light panels with 4 drivers (Woodlands TW7) Gifted These panels are used and have a few storage marks on them but four of them power on fine as do the four drivers. The fifth panel is missing the driver connector so I can't test it. Happy to demo when collected.

Free: GTech ebike with bad battery (Woodlands TW7) Gifted The battery on this bike has unfortunately developed an intermittent fault which means the battery won't turn on most of the time. The bike can be ridden as a single speed, though if you don't mind replacing the battery they're still available for about £300 new. The bike comes with the charger and user manual as well as the battery. Collection near Busch Corner in Isleworth.

Free: Couple of 500GB SATA hard drives (Woodlands TW7) Gifted These were tested for bad sectors (none found) and working fine when put away a few years ago. I no longer use hard drives so if anyone else can make use of them, please get in touch.

Free: silver Ridgeback MX16 bike (16in wheels) (Woodlands TW7) Gifted I'm having a bit of a clear out at my storage unit where this Ridgeback bike has been sitting unused for the last couple of years. I've pumped the tyres up and they seem to hold air OK and the brakes seem to work but given how long the bike's been unused, it's likely to need a check over or service. Collection from Isleworth near Thornbury Park.

Free: Saracen Mantra One mountain bike, size Large (Woodlands TW7) Gifted This bike has been sitting in a storage unit for the last few years and has now been replaced with a new bike. I've pumped the tyres up and they hold air fine but no other testing has been done. It will probably need a service given how long it's been since it was last ridden. The frame is 19inches in size and the suspension fork seems to work OK when I lean on it. Collection near Thornbury Park in Isleworth.

Free: Posligne Aures PS-50-II barcode scanner (Woodlands TW7) Expired This looks as if it's working - when I plug it into one of the USB ports on my computer, it beeps and lights up. I can't test it any further though as I've not got any software for it (the PC found the driver automatically).

106d

Free: Kenwood LS-SG8 speakers, working well (tested) (Woodlands TW7) Gifted These Kenwoods are tested and working and sound good. As you can see, one of the corners has taken a knock but it doesn't have any impact on how the speakers sound.
