from the description of his "Bikes," i'd imagine we could make a similar offer with some of the crap we have hanging around. the last thing we need is a bunch mountain bike frames cramping our already limited space.
pass.
Perhaps this subject overlaps into what we (
the Inventory Committee) need to complete, which is to define our 'Policies' regarding 'storage' and what that comprises at BRW.
On one hand, NO - we've got no room for twenty more bikes right now (..or somesuch) Our committee is in the process of documenting everything in BRW right now, and we're appx 35% done with 'bikes-n-frames'. As we organize, we intend to 'clear-out' (by sale or other methods) everything that's not rightfully and properly 'claimed' and 'tagged'. (don't worry people- if you have projects they're safe for the moment!)
Most of the people who are working on "tall-bikes" and "frame-welding" pretty much understand that they are welcome to work on their projects on specified 'Workshop' days (
as far as large numbers of bikes & frames, and lots of cutting & welding going on) which are usually 'off-days' from normal BRW open-hours. The rest of the 'wrenching' n'stuff that they've done has been pretty respectful of shop procedure.
Also most of these guys (
Ritchie?) have managed to take their projects home, and not leave Bulky Projects in the shop. There was one complaint about a large amount of 'recyclables' left-over after some of these events, but... that's another thread for later.
To some degree, and in a very
finite sense, there
is a small amount of storage space available for
cut lengths of tubing, stays, lugs, dropouts, etc. (from frames)...
BUT! >>>
Just to put this out there...
The main idea is to take pride & responsibility with your own projects, which might also mean you storing your own 'stuff' at home (depending on it's BULK!) It's obvious we have limited space, and for the shop to function, we have a limit to the number of 'frames' and 'bikes' we can store... also...
If any of you guys are going out to 'score' on a large number of decent bikes, (which could be ridden as-is or with some minor effort) you might want to consider fixing-up one or two and donating 'em to the good ol' BRW, = It would be a small sacrifice for you as a group, and you'd be directly helping us to continue helping you make your dreams come true... !!??
Be practical about this people, that's all really.
