Anyone around the Madison WI area mess around with MTBs too and want some free crap?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Mod feel free to delete it if not.

Anyway, I've putzed around with bikes for a couple years now and have collected more stuff than I have room for. I've got my nice bikes built up and no longer wish to mess around with low end crap anymore anyway. I've also got to make room for a pool table and home-brew stuff so I'm giving away the lower end crap I have to a local C&V person if anyone even wants it. I'm talking things like a small pile of lower end derailers (Suntour 7, ARX and a few others), a small pile of pedals(half of which probably don't have mates), a low end Firenze frame, A UO-8(or something like that) Peugeot mixte frame, some crap 27" and 26" steel wheels wheels, totally decent full cromo MTB frame from '94(small Giant frame)aluminum MTB wheels from the 90s(probably have at least a little wobble to the rims) a small stash of MTB hubs(A few Alivio and the like which are actually smooth and re-greased already.) some crappy handlebars and stems, and a couple boxes of random spare parts(brake levers, etc). Most of it is indeed crap. All I ask is that you take all of the free crap and drop whatever you don't want off at the co-op. I know there's one on Park near the belt-line. If you don't have a truck/van this will probably take you a couple trips because of the wheels and frames. Please don't take the free crap if you are going to keep a little of it and toss the rest in the garbage. If no one wants this stuff then I'll just take it to the co-op myself. Not a big deal. Just thought someone here might want to pick it up so that they can pick out what they want and then take it themselves. Oh, and there's also a 2004-ish Specialized Festina frame in the free stuff pile too. 56cm and has a very small crack where the seat pinch bolt hole is. I rode it on a few ~20mi trips as is and didn't have any problem and it rides great, but I make no promises that it won't burst into flames upon a maiden voyage if built up. Oh, and tires. A stack of lower end MTB tires too. All with plenty of tread but they're the generic tread ones that come on cheaper bikes. Probably decent for winter duty or something if you don't have a long commute every day.
