    Would there be much demend for reconditioned bikes? reason is I know someone who works in a recycling centre and says that there is some amount of unwanted bikes coming in usually with flat tyres or something very minor wrong with them there just unwanted and unused. Im currently unemployed and would be willing to fix them up and sell them on at a reasonable price. Worth a shot or would I be left with a load of unwanted bikes? just looking for feed back thanks

    I thought it was illegal to take stuff from the recycling centres. If not, I'd be all for bikes being put back on the road, as long as I got first dibs on anything special... ahem...

    Agree, but there is some logic to not allowing stuff marked as recycled to be taken by another party. It's not a scrap yard either.

    its a disgrace that people throw away good bikes, just for minor things. i'm sure if you talk to the lads in Ballyogan or wherever they'll take out the bikes and keep them for you, then i'm sure you could sell them on gumtree, or adverts, or some bike shops might even buy them off you.
