Montana hook up??
Looking for a facilitator around Missoula, MT to help get a bike to me in Oregon. Ideal situation would be someone passing through there headed to Oregon/Washington. Alternatively, can take the bike to a place that can pack and ship it.

I am in the SF Bay Area and am interested in a frame in the Sacramento area. Is anyone from the Bay taking a trip up to Tahoe soon and could perhaps toss it in the trunk on the way back to the Bay?

Looking for help in LA area. Seller in Whittier CA has NOS two rims I need, but he won't ship!
He won't even take payment.
I need someone to drive to his door, pay him $80 (happy to pay the $80 before you go)
I'd buy the shipping label direct from bike flights and the would require the rims to be boxed which should be very easy.
Will pay for time and packing cost

I found a bike I've been looking for near Antwerp in Belgium and I live in Rotterdam but I'm not able to pick it up for a couple off weeks because I'm accepting a daughter in the coming weeks. And I don't want to go to far from home. Is there someone who could pick it up and maybe store it for a couple off weeks? Or someone that wouldn't mind picking it up? I'm glad to pay for gas.

Able to help in Sacramento, CA
Able to help in the Sacramento metropolitan area. Saw some posts from a few months ago asking for help in Sacramento but did not see them until recently. I am a pretty good wrench and can help with pickup, packing and shipping or short term storage while you figure out the next step. Just PM me. I check BF almost daily.

Hi, everyone. There is a beautiful dark green metallic Mike Melton road bike in Aiken, South Carolina (quite near Augusta, GA). 64cm stated size and looks it (64-65cm CTT is my estimation). I emailed the seller regarding wheel size and he stated it was 27" (what I was hoping as 700C wheels would allow more tire to fit). No Shipping ebay seller.
Link to Melton Road Bike
Components are grubby but don't look road-rashed to death, at least from the photos. I've been looking for a full 531 frame of a sportier variety for a little bit now, hence the great interest. Primarily interested in it for the frameset, so if you see components you like, I'd be happy to pay you that way. If you're in the area, as tall as I am, and don't wish to facilitate, by all means, snag up a gorgeous bike!
Thank you (either way)!
