WANTED Bicycle chains

Hi all,

I'm looking for either cheap or unwanted bicycle chains for a project I'm doing. The cheapest I can find in a shop is 14e and that's far too expensive for me.

They're not going on a bike so size and safety isn't a concern,

If you have any or know where I can get some for about 4 or 5e a chain let me know.

Does it matter if they are worn chains that have been replaced?

Nope, so long as they work. I was gonna raid the recycling centre but they frown on that sorta thing.

I have a number of chains, maybe 5 or 6 used but which still work if they would be any good to you so? Postage might be quite hefty though, you could be better off with something like the ribble chains? let me know anyway, cheers

If I could pick them up from you I would, and throw you a few bob for your effort.

If not, then I'd prob get them from ribble.

Where are you based?

Ah right, bit too far to travel.

Thanks for the offer anyway. I'm gonna go covert down to the recycling centre
tomorrow and see what I can pick up. Failing that I'll get them off the net.

Thanks again!:)

Ask in your local bike shop, i've no doubt they'll be happy to give you all the knackered chains you want.
