Were you able to find anyone in Phoenix, AZ who could facilitate for you? I ask because I'm also looking for someone in Phoenix to facilitate a small purchase (parts).
Anyone out there in Phoenix able to help out?
Thanks!

Kind-hearted transporter/mailer in Sarasota, FL
I found a pair of fenders I'd love to pull the trigger on but seller won't ship. Any chance someone in the area is traveling to Atlanta in the near future and would transport? OR, is there someone in the area that knows the approximate cost and would mail them to me? I will cover the postage, of course.
Thank you for the kindness 😀!

For sentimental reasons, I will bid on this 1995 Cannondale Tourer.. auction ends in 20 minutes, so I'll shoot first and ask later.

I'm looking for someone to pick it up and take it to a bike store for packing and shipping to Michigan.
Off the top of my head, for that service I'd pay fifty bucks and still consider it a favor. Negotiable upwards...
cheers -mathias

Looking for a facilitator in southwest Denver / Littleton area. Classic, but not vintage: a Lemond Poprad. I'd be happy to split parts, etc., with you; I really only want the frame. Thanks!

Items willing to facilitate: small items up to whole bikes
Very happy to help other members with inspecting, pick-up, packing and shipping. I've packed and shipped it all from small items to wheelsets, frames and entire bikes. When I ship big items, I use Ship Bikes which has greatly discounted FedEx rates. If you use another service like Bike Flights (UPS) that's fine too.
Cheers,
Lori

Could anyone in the SF Bay Area potentially help facilitate buying this bike?
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik...431542185.html
I’ve been looking for one in this size for quite some time.

Anyone have any recommendations for facilitating on this Miyata in Georgia? I am still pretty new at this. I tried messaging RedBikee" from the facilatators list but he is gone. I also have now sent a message to "TheBlackBullet" and "BrianEugene" still awaiting reply. Just curious if anyone knows anyone that is a more definitive yes before the bike sells. TIA

I stumbled across this Cramerotti bike for sale in Indian Head, SK. I'm in the US and the auction ends in 16 hours. I'm more pointing this out so that someone more local can score a good buy. The current bid on HiBid is a whopping $12.00 CDN. I have no affiliation with this auction in any way shape or form. I haven't posted 10 times yet so I can't share the link. What's the workaround for that?

Along the lines of enabling/facilitating I have a box that my new Surly Straggler frame came in, if anyone's looking for a frame-shipping box. This is for free to any forum member who wants to drive to Northern VA for a free box. :-)

Haha, is it about the same Daccordi I am trying to acquire? I will bow out in that case.
