We've got a couple of trade threads going successfully around the forums, so I'm starting one here too. This is the thread where you can offer up things for trade. You've got an item you don't need and you need something else? Trade it here. You need something and someone else has it? Trade it for something you've got here.

A few rules-

NO mention of money. This is a TRADE thread only. Any mention of money will get deleted.

NO advertising. This is not for store owners or people who own some type of store and want to get their stuff out there. Any advertising will be deleted.

ALL trades need to be done via PM. Any conflicts do not involve bikeforums or its agents. Trader beware!

ONLY bike related items are to be traded here. Anything else offered up for trade by either party will be deleted.

There will probably be other guidelines we'll add on. Check back with this first post for any updates. If we see repeated violations, we'll just close out the thread if it gets out of control.

Trade on!

I have a dahon classic 3 converted to a fixie . I use it for winter rides I have another similiar bike which works as well for this purpose and would consider a trade for a 20 inch steel or alloy wheel set up for a 6 speed freewheel . In true please ,or make me an offer for trade.Chicagoland traders preferred.As of today(06 16 2006 )i have withdrawn the offer

Guy, are you selling or trading the bike? If selling it, you're very much in the wrong thread:
NO mention of money. This is a TRADE thread only. Any mention of money will get deleted.

If you're trading it, you might have better success by posting what you want in exchange for it.

I did not mention money.

Not you, James. :)

Some other person with the name "Guy(something)" posted a for-sale message, so I was pointing him elsewhere. The post is gone now, guess he removed it.

Sorry Guy is sort of like mac.Hey Guy, Hey Mac.

Sorry for the cross post in the BMX thread, but...

Have: 20" rear 48 spoke 16 tooth essex custom pro wheelset in excellent condition

Want: 20" rear 48 spoke 12-13-14-15-16 tooth cog with coaster brake in similar condition

NYC area would be great but not absolute.

I have this steel softride that I have built up to fit someone between 5'9.5''-6'2''. I'll give more specs to the person interested. Ir really is a comfy ride and works well pulling a BOB.

I am looking for a Birdy, BF, or Swift.

I'm looking for a new 27.2mm seatpost for my Dahon 26". I'll gladly trade my Dahon Biologic suspension seatpost for something else...

I have a Bike Friday Crusoe (2004) that has about 200 miles on it. I thought I would be using it a lot more than I have been. I'm willing to trade it for a road or mountain bike. If you're interested send me an e-mail (jbcNewYork@yahoo.com).

edit: no longer trading.

OK, I'll reinvigorate this thread.

I'm hunting for a used 3-speed style, ATB riser bar, or curved (arc) handlebar, fairly narrow and flat. If wider than 50cm I plan to cut them down to about 40-45 cm wide. I like the Nitto Dove or Noahs Arc bars... something like either of those would be nice to try out on my Swift. Prefer silver aluminum.

Howabout a Shimano Nexus redline (32H)....?

To trade:
- Specialized Stumpjumper bought new in 1988 and stock as a rock, even the tires
- straight silver ATB (flat) bar (stock on Swift Xootr)
- Cane creek bar ends (rubber covered)
- black anodized set of bullhorn ATB bars
- Cateye LED handlebar headlight
- Bottle cap opener made from an old Schwinn sweetheart sprocket

This is somewhat Hypothetical: Would anyone be willing to trade a brand new Birdy (yellow) for a relatively new/used steel or allum. Swift (any color) ??? Have temporary oppertunity to aquire the Birdy but kinda stuck on the Swift design more than the birdy.... though the Birdy is cool in its own right.

Wow. Brand new birdy for a used swift....says something about the swift. I wish I had one. I almost did, but then the unexpected things happened, and no more swifts for me. :(

I am looking for an epx folding mountain bike. I could use just the frame or the entire set up depending on what you have. For trade I have a specialized bighit with normal wear, Scratches and a stretched chain. What else do you think you would want. let me know.

Not something for me, just spotted it in CL and figured someone in this group may have an interest.

Wanted: Samsonite F'lite suitcase

I am looking for some kind of decent vintage folder that would fit a 6' person. I would prefer something in chicago so I am getting more bike than shipping. Please pm if you have anything

Wanted: Used Downtube mini with cassette gears

Looking for a quality folder frame suitable for fixed gear conversion-horizontal dropouts. I don't mind rough paint, but all folding mechanisms need to be operable and the frame solid. I have tons to trade. Vintage steel Schwinn Cimarron frame (fillet brazed), "rare" (at least in the US) Bridgestone Wildwest frame (like our CB series), tons of good components too , nice xt f+r derailleurs etc.etc.

I have a new 2008 REI Buzz Fly-By folder, made by Dahon. They are sold out for this year.
It is very similar to the 2008 Dahon MuXL Sport. (see other posts for more details).
Will trade for a Dahon Curve SL, any year.

I have a 451 flipflop rear wheel I picked up that I was planing on using for a project that I never got around to doing. Would trade for either either a nice alloy front, 406 size wheel or a rear 406 wheel of similar quality, or something else...offer me something, or PM me if you are interested in what I have. you might have something I need! (:

Raleigh Twenty Frame for stem for Dahon Boardwalk I am located in Washington state.

I have Xootr Swift that is less than 2 years old and probably has less than 100 miles. It has an SRAM DualDrive. Also includes front & rear fenders, wireless computer, water bottle holder and handlebar ends. Rear rack and pack available as an additional option to interested buyers.

I'm looking for a Bike Friday folding recumbent (Bike Sat-R-Day). If I'm unable to work out a deal here I may be posting on the For Sale thread, but first I'd like to see if I can work out a trade.

P.S. - I haven't posted much here, but I can provide potential traders with my eBay user name with a 100% rating.

Thanks,

I've got a nice Raleigh Twenty--would be great to find a used Downtube Mini, even one needing work. Open to other ideas too.

Still looking for a folder frame for fixed conversion. I can do 20" or 16" wheels, just looking for something solid with horizontal drops. Raleigh 20? I have the following for trade, SA alloy shell hub laced to Velocity (700c) aeroheat, race face gold crankset with spot chainguard (off a Bianchi BUSS, also have gold Titec stem and 25.4 gold snafu seatpost). Other non-cycling things...PSP with protective cover and games, a ton of Patagonia outerwear. Let me know.

I have a newly bought merc that I am the process of doing up (see various posts), but I am not sure if it is for me still - to be honest, I think I might be too big/heavy to get a good ride out of it. I will persevere, but could be tempted into a trade - I am in the UK - if anyone is interested...


OK - with the mods I have made decided to keep it for now (edit)

Anyone have any of those sticky pads you put on the frame where metal meets metal? I have a bell, a mirror for a bell Citi helmet, a bunch of stuff like that. (PM me and I'll get you a longer list.)

I understand the no-selling rules, but would like a clarification of "only bike stuff". Do both sides of the trade have to be "bike stuff" or only one side of the trade? Would this hypothetical be legit?

"I've got a Louisville Slugger signed by Willie Mays and would like to trade it for a pair of wheels."

Or this one?

"I've got a pair of wheels and would like to trade them for a Louisville Slugger signed by Willie Mays."

Thanks
T.

P.S. I don't have a Louisville Slugger signed by Willie Mays or an extra pair of wheels.

Hello, I'm somewhat new here. I would like to trade for a folder or two. Not sure what I'm looking for. Please let me know what you have.

List of things to trade:

2 fixed/SS frames(both: 120mm rear spacing, 700c, fender/rack capable, true temper tubing, forks: eyelets fenders rack), one is 53cm and one is 57cm in size, or both as complete bikes


2 wheelsets: both 120mm rear hubs, one is fixed/fixed or free/free and the other is fixed/free or free/free (freewheels can be used on the fixed cog side of every track hub that I know of, of course I could be wrong, I know these will)

misc. parts for ss or fixed

would like to find someone local to zip 46987 in the US, I'm not sure about shipping

Just email or pm, Thanks for the time, Todd

Forgot to add another bike: Trek 7100 hybrid, Thanks again. Todd

Hello everyone... I have an '03 Specialized S-works, 50 cm, 9 speed full Dura-Ace components, Ksyrium SSC wheels. Im looking for a Bike Friday Pocket Rocket. PM if interested. Thanks.

ONLY bike related items are to be traded here. Anything else offered up for trade by either party will be deleted.


I would like to request that this rule be relaxed somewhat: shouldn't it suffice that one side of the trade be bike-related?

E.g. I really want a Brompton|Birdy|Swift|Dahon... have Babe Ruth baseball card.

or

I have a Brompton|Birdy|Swift|Dahon ... want Babe Ruth baseball card.

Why restrict the free flow of barter involving bikes? Bikes are only one facet of people's lives.

Wanted:
either a Dahon telescoping seat post, or at least the lower portion of it (apparently it's discontinued) or a standard Dahon seat post (34mm). Things to trade: Rido saddle and some standard Dahon components. I'm UK BTW.

Have CaneCreek Thudbuster ST elastomers in BLUE and WHITE or GRAY? Will trade either for BLACK ST elastomer. The one that looks white or light gray (hard to tell without seeing them side by side) has #47 on it, and the blue has #53. I assume these numbers indicate the duro.

I didn't want to make another thread for this and technically it's also a trade :)

Win a Cateye Micro Wireless or EL450 Headlight by simply subscribing and commenting on my site, check out the details here Win folding bike accessories (http://www.newfoldingbikes.com/win-a-cateye-micro-wireless-el450-headlight)

I posted this in another thread but no one has answered yet maybe someone here can:

Anyone order a bike from the UK of Europe. It looks like they have more folding bike styles than the US and more affordable. The Viking SAFARI 6 is £159 = $280 on amazon.co.uk. I just don't want to end up in paying $300 for a bike and $300 in import and tax fees. Any ideas.

I see that the link to the folding bike accessories are in £ and $.
