Those look pretty ragged, but I would think it should be easy enough for the seller to dump in a box. Do they collapse?

The ad is pretty old, so hopefully the seller is motivated (if everything hasn't been sold or dumped).

A phone number is listed, have you tried calling?

I've mailed cash for small purchases in the past.

He won't mail them. I asked.
They're pretty grimy, but don't look too UV damaged, and I'm betting a wash would do wonders.

I've been off the board for a while but I'm back. There's a CL frame in Tacoma that I'm interested in- anyone who could pick it up for me? I don't need it shipped, but can pick up from you the next time i am in Seattle (probably in a month or so).

To clarify, the seller is in Tacoma but doesn't get up to Seattle (where I have relatives). I can pick it up from either Seattle or Tacoma the next time i'm in for a visit.

If you don't get a response, then post a note here. There are at least 2 people planning to drive down to Portland from the North.

Of course, everyone is welcome to join.

Is there anyone in Phoenix that could check out a bike for me? It seems that the two people listed in the front aren't too active anymore.

A bit late to the party, but happy to help Austin deals in future. Want to pay it forward as I’m looking for assistance in San Diego if anyone can make it possible :-)
