I subscribe to our local freecycle, which is meant to keep useful stuff that someone could use out of the landfills... In the Wilkes-Barre FreeCycle list, it is pretty rare to see anyone offering anything, instead they usually are asking for things... And people are getting pretty specific.
This one is not cycling related, but it struck me as WAY too specific to be asking on Freecycle.
Hi I am looking for a bridesmaid dress from David's bridal in a size 20
or 22 or 18. The style number is F1286 and it is the Victorian Lilac
Color. Please email me. Thanks so much!
So, I decided what the heck, I have given a few things away on FreeCycle, so I have now posted my wanted ad. For a 22 or 23 inch 1979 Blue Schwinn LeTour IV... or as an alternative any lugged steel touring bike with a 32" standover height.
I'm not expecting a flood of responses, but it will be interesting if I do get something. Before I had my first vintage bike, I did request any old road bikes, and my only response was from someone who had a Huffy mountain bike. Well intentioned, but off the mark.
