Friend gave me a bare frame for a MTB - it looks to be the one reviewed here:
https://www.imbikemag.com/issue2/?page=125
Example photo attached - it doesn't have the cantilever studs on the seat stays, but it has two sets of braze ons there (do they make removeable braze-on cantilever studs?) and another set on the mono part of the stays for a rack, and it also has a disk brake mount on the rear.

Doesn't appear in the current catalogue, although they have a different model with the same name: https://www.on-one.co.uk
16", for riders 5'6" to 5'10"... I'm pretty sure it's for 26" wheels. Just the frame, no fork or headset or bb. Non replaceable der hanger. Great condition except for scratches in the paint and a little cosmetic rust around some of the braze ons.
Free to anyone who wants it and can pick it up in Concord.

Hi, is this frame still available? I would be willing to pick it up if you can do it tomorrow, as that's the only time that I have before I head back up north. Thank you.

I have a mens Schwinn hybrid Trail Way (Target special) that I purchased and used for a bit. It is in great shape and I'd love to donate it to a good cause or give to someone in real need. The bike is complete and ready to ride. Anyone know where in the South Bay (SJ) I could donate this thing?
Not looking to see it reappear on craigslist or buried in a hoarders garage.

I can help. I volunteer (when time permits) with a non profit here in San Jose called Good Karma. We set up clinics in front of soup kitchens and similar places and do free bike repair for homeless and less fortunate individuals. And when we have them, we donate bikes (by way of lottery) to those who need them. We'd be more than happy to take this off your hands if you like and make sure it finds its way between someone's very grateful legs. Feel free to private message me if this sounds good to you.

Thanks a lot for the donation. We'd be more than happy to have you as a volunteer as well, especially since I can almost never make it during the spring/fall.

I have a can EFS powder. GF tried it, but didn't like the taste. I don't use the stuff. Free if anyone wants it.

I have a new Brooks seat cover. It's vinyl, black with beige lettering ... sort of a commercial for Brooks. Might be able to get it into an envelope. Let me know if you want it.

I am going to bump this threads and see if anyone wants these:
1. Nashbar Townie Baskets (2), moderately customized with an ABS sheet inside on the rack side. With rain covers.
2. I have two pairs of unused CX tires. One is 700x30, one is 700x32. Both sets are Kenda, one set are Kwicks and the other are Kwickers. I want to get rid of one of them and keep the other just in case I need to go off-road again sometime.
UPDATE: CX tires are gone.

I have a couple Performance jerseys I got with a bike. They look to have been used only a couple of times (so was the bike), no tear, no stain.
They are too small for me.
Both are size medium, one is plain yellow, the other plain blue with black shoulder band.
Free to first one who comes pick them up. I am in Lafayette.

I've got a whole bunch of steel and carbon bottle holders/cages, some new 700c x 32 or so tires and tubes on a cheap rim, and some other things if anyone would like to take a look? also have some fenders and some mixmatched other things, (can't think of them off the top of my head)
got everything as a gift from a friend at Leopard, free if you can come by and pick them up.
Am in Redwood City off 101.

Anybody need some aero brake levers? These were too small for my Neanderthal hands.
These are not shifters, just old school levers that I used on my bike with the DT shifters.
Great shape, no cables.

I am getting ready for a cross-country move and have a few things I'd like to dump.
vaguely cycling-related, I have 2qt of camp stove fuel (white gas) if anyone is camping this summer. Also about a gallon of tiki torch fuel, some citronella and some not. Again, you might use it camping.
Totally cycling-related:
- One pair of very lightly-used Panaracer Pasela TGs in 26x1.5. My wife prefers the 1.75" size, and I don't have anything else in 26" here. So come and take them off my hands.
- A CETMA 5-rail front rack. Bought it in 2011, used it for a little while, put it in the shed in 2012. Yeah, it was expensive. Come and get it.
Pickup at my office at Stanford (pre-April 5th) or at my house in Sunnyvale (pre-April 12th or so).

All yours!
Everything else is still in my shed ready to go.
But I also have an 8-foot visibility flag leftover from my Sand Highway days in the Tacoma that I always wanted to stick to my bike trailer but couldn't get to stay. If anyone wants it for their trailer, let me know.

Just purchased my first road bike, and went on a group ride yesterday with platform pedals. Everyone was telling me that I need to get pedals/shoes to be more efficient. Does anyone have extra pedals/shoes lying around?
