Community Parts Box

September 21st, 2009 by BT Leave a reply »

I’ve come up with a new idea to help us be an even stronger community of vintage bike riders.  The community parts box.

You know how everyone has a box of miscellaneous parts that you don’t really need, but don’t want to throw away?  Imagine if we could all dig through each other’s boxes.  The whole idea of this is that the parts are FREE for other members to take off your hands.

I am going to impose a few rules to keep things fair and to avoid the inevitable person that takes and never gives.  Rules are as follows:

  1. You must be a member of vintagebikeriders.com to participate.
  2. Vintagebikeriders.com, it’s owner(s), and anyone affiliated with the site bear absolutely no responsibility for any transactions that take place under this program.
  3. The “parts box” is virtual – you hold the parts that you’re offering and if someone asks for them, the manner in which you hook up is up to you.
  4. You must have at least two working parts offered in order to aks for someone else’s.
  5. On your honor, if you do receive a part from the “parts box” you will give vintagebikeriders.com one dollar.  That goes to help support the effort in the event that this thing gets popular.
  6. If you take a part it is to be used on your own bike.  You will not take a part from the box to sell UNDER  ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
  7. If you take a part and then no longer need it, you will return it to the box.

If you have a part to offer, please just email bt@vintagebikerider.com with as much information as you have, such as the part number, what bike it’s for, description, condition, a picture if possible, etc. We will manage the list of parts and if it becomes popular we will create a more formal parts database.
