hello. my dads bike got stolen for the second time near USC. it was locked with a ulock. i'm so sick of this.
JD had let him borrow it indefinitly (i'm so sorry!).
anyways, my dad doesnt have much of anything. he was really starting to enjoy riding but it was also his only transportation. he was really really bummed. he can't afford a bike at all. I want to help build him something. My dad is 5'11 and overweight. A mountain bike would probably work best for him . If anyone has a frame/wheels/ANYTHING let me know please and thank you. My dad is an AMAZING man and didn't deserve this. not that anyone does but it just makes it even more frustrating.

I've got 2 mountain bike frames with tires (tubes might need to be changed)
Not sure if the brakes work on it... but you're more than welcome to take one.
I'll post pictures of them later today when I get home.

At least it was u-locked, but what a drag for your dad!
Have him check craigslist, they've ALWAYS got cheap MTBs on there, and it's a lot easier / cheaper to build something when you start with something reasonably complete.
That's where I found the old Ross that he had been riding. (The bike was not a big expense, so no worries.)
Or swing by the Bikerowave. We've got a few MTBs we might be able to make him a pretty good deal on.
If anybody sees an approx. 61cm Black Ross MTB (one piece crank, horizontal dropouts, steel frame), let us know.

Man, what's with these extreme frame sizes getting stolen lately? First a 39.5 cm road, then a 61 cm MTB?

wow 61cm for a 5'11" isn't that tad too big?
i have an old trek 820 that he could borrow.
its a single speed and the spokes are rusted
breaks need to be tuned

using the metric system in reference to mtn bike measurements is funny. LoL.
He'll prob want something in the 19-20 inch range.

i have a pretty cool bright orange mountain bike that would probably fit him (i'm 5'11")
one of the rims might need replacing and it needs brakes
