I'm selling a frame/fork to a member up in Seattle. Is there any anyone traveling between Portland and Seattle in the next couple of weeks?

Thanks

Anyone? So odd, I usually head up there bi-weekly. All of a sudden my calendar is full.

Anyone in Nashville TN who can fetch and ship a bike to Richmond VA?

This bike vanished from FBM for a while and just reappeared so I'm looking again for a facilitator. The seller is not interested in shipping and sounds like he might be a flake but I kinda want the bike.

Alternatively, perhaps someone who knows can recommend a shop in Nashville that you know can box and ship a bike. The seller might deliver it to the shop if he's really interested in selling it to me. Thanks!

Anyone near Quincy, Washington?

An interesting bike has popped up in my size...

Any availability in Albuquerque, New Mexico? There's a frameset out there calling me. PM me if available to assist.
Thanks in advance!

Calling Montreal... (again)
 
There's a bike for sale in Montreal from which I'd like (at least) the frame and fork.

It would need picking up and packing and shipping to me, and you can keep all the parts or whatever other arrangement is acceptable; there is only one pic but they look like this
nice alloy rim HF qr wheels and tyres
Suntour VGT rear, something matching front
swaged alloy crankset
quill pdals, clips,straps
what might be a TA bottle cage (there are/were clones)
Universal levers and fair-good hoods
Think the brakes are Universal Super 68
alloy bar & stem - and (!) grabons, not in bad shape either
nondescript seat and post

The bike has been (re-)built for sale, so presumably decent rubber and cables and all.
He has others listed and the ads' background, a nice shop wall full of the necessary tools - used - inspires confidence.

Any AZ to MN snowbirds?
 
I'm still looking for a facilitator to move/ship a 60's Schwinn road bike from Phoenix area to Minnesota. Ideally I would pay a snowbird returning to MN this spring with room for a bike, but would consider paying someone with experience to pack and ship it. Anyone in AZ know somebody heading back north this spring?

Anyone headed from Los Angeles up to the Bay Area? There's a frame (no fork; just frame) in the Monterey Park/San Gabriel/San Marino/Alhambra area I'd love to get up here. Once in the Bay Area, I can come to you.

PhilFo 04-17-26 11:25 PM

Anyone in the SF bay area available to check out a frame for me and facilitate the purchase.
It might be a 'Dale Beast of the East and at a price I can't turn down.
Send me a PM as I'm not on the forums much lately, I'm just super overworked.
Thanks all
Phil

Bay Area is 2 hours across.

Where in the Bay area?

curbtender 04-18-26 05:22 PM

I'm seeing a frame in the Sunset District if that's the one.

PhilFo 04-18-26 05:33 PM

The CList ad says Inner Sunset / UCSF.
My apologies for not being more specific. I guess it's SF proper.
Thanks all,
Phil

Can anyone lend a hand with a frame purchase & shipping? The Craigslist map shows the seller on the south side of St. Louis, MO near Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Thank you!

Assist at Two Wheels One Planet in Costa Mesa?
 
I'm looking at a vintage bike sale at Two Wheels One Planet in Costa Mesa, California and I'm told they will only accept an in-person pick up and cash in hand. It's not clear to me why the shop won't pack a bike for shipping. Anyone familiar with the shop who may be able to help?

gladhandbart 05-01-26 02:43 PM

MODS: I posted a thread for facilitating on a specific site, so if one of these isn't appropriate, please delete one.

Leboncoin - Any users on here who can facilitate?

There's a menagerie of wonders on Leboncoin, but I'm specifically interested in some Simplex Cross Command shifter on there.

TL;DR - I can't register for Leboncoin in the US without some VPN tomfoolery, so if you're a user and willing to facilitate, please let me know!

Bike shipping from Marysville, WA
 
Is anybody in or near the Marysville, WA area and willing to facilitate shipping a bike? I’m in Montana, so it’s not too far. Thanks in advance!

Robvolz 05-05-26 11:18 AM

reminding people I'm Portland/Salem Oregon based, have access to boxes or build my own and UPS is 2 blocks from my house.

gladhandbart 05-21-26 01:26 PM

Is anyone near Fruita, CO? There's a bike that rarely pops up in my size that I'm interested in. I am planning to call a couple local shops, but would rather solicit from someone on here!
