Thought I'd stop here as well an say hello as I am a newbie to this forum. I joined this forum because i do a lot of volunteer work on repairing and building bicycles in Flagler County, FL. See my general intro page: https://www.bikeforums.net/introducti...-coast-fl.html

I am more a bike mechanic than a real rider as I do bike building/repairing for 3 charitable groups here in Flagler County.

I have a repair shop set up in a storage unit that is donated space and working on bringing up my inventory levels as I end up working on all types and sizes of bicycles. I also travel to the charity office/safe-house to do repairs on the spot with a portable stand.

I'll post a picture of the shop when I get the required posts.

If any of you have excess parts and are not too far, I will be happy to arrange to pick them up as most part costs come out of my pocket.

I always need brake assemblies/parts, derailers, controls, seats, seat posts, pedals, kickstands, reflectors (wheel, front & rear), tires, tubes, wheels, handlebar grips, just about anything bike related. Specialized tools are also welcome if you no longer have a need for them.

Thanks

Glad you made over here to the SE section. You're at 10 posts so you can post pics any time. I'd like to see your setup. I'll scrounge thru my stuff. I may have a few items for you. If I find anything worthwhile I'll send you a PM.

Pictures of the storage/repair shop.

As I said it is donated space and I share the 1st floor with the emergency sleep gear and stored clothing for the shelter. The owner of the unit allowed me to build the workbench and add some more lighting and keep a compressor there.

The boat trailer belongs to the owner of the unit and when I built the workbench I had to select cabinets that are shallower than standard kitchen type or there would be no way to get the trailer out. There are about a dozen bikes ready for distribution and another 12 or so to be repaired and 2 more are due in today for repairs. I work on about 20 bikes a week between the shop and the on-site repairs.

Cabinets and shelves in between were provided by a local cabinet shop. Bench top is double layer of 3/4" plywood measuring 2' x 8' topped with self stick vinyl tile Cheap bench mounted work stand but looking for Park Tool to help me if possible with a better one.

I just added a 4-1/2" bench vice on the right corner and I need to build myself a wheel truing setup in my spare time

No AC, just a 20" box fan and a roll-up garage door but Im not complaining.....yet
