Firstly, not to be a dick but there already is a VCU thread that pretty much encompasses all people living in Richmond. Secondly I do not think people are just going to give you parts and a frame for free, and if they were your best bet would be to go to the I Wanna Trade thread.

Yo Sandy, Recycles usually has some good finds in their junk bins. Stems, bars, and the like can all prolly be had for for cheapskies at Recycles or the Hopping bunny!

mr. 804
maybe i should emphasized that i ABSOLUTELY am not asking ya'll to just GIVE me parts. i'm just being lazy, and asking to be pointed in teh right direction. if there were some people on this board and/or friends who desperately needed to get rid of some ****, this would be their oppurtunity.
VCU thread...too damn long. and there's too much **** going on it in. i just want to talk about finding some parts for a bike in this one.
maybe i shoulda been more specific.
thanks though!!

it's all good, dude. i can see where you thought i was looking for handouts. all is well.
i'm just finding it hard to find stuff so far, mainly a frame, because my lady is shorrrrrrrt. 5'2'' - 5'3''.
so yeah, if you guys hear anything, i'd love to know about it. in the meantime, search is on. thanks again.

Fantastic thrift sometimes has a frame or two. There is also Dan the bike man on the north side, but I'm not sure how to contact him.
With someone that short it may be easier to...
a)get a taller girlfriend
b)buy her stilts instead

I have dan's number if you are interested, also I have a touring frame that used to be a three speed that could be converted to a single speed. The bottom bracket is a bit odd, more the size of BMX bottom brackets but it is a mixte frame so I am sure it would fit her. shoot me a PM if you want help with either of those.

Diversity thrift has a 5 dollar bike room, maybe you could find some potential 'clients' there. Even if you had to buy a few bikes and frankenstein it out, youre only out of a few dollars.
