In the past, Sopo has put extra frames and wheels outside in a pile and then posted on Craigslist for people to come pick up free parts.  We got rid of a large pile of excess stuff that way.

Local artists might be able to use the wheels as well, if you can't use them for their original purpose.

I am curious what size wheels you have in excess, because in Atlanta, we tend to collect excess 20" and 26" wheels, while 27" and 700c are always in high demand.

Rich:  We experience this as well with Recycle Bicycles here in Denver.  However, if you have good rear 26" MTB wheels it seems we can always use those.  Let me know if these are some of those soon to be recycled wheels and we can make arrangements.  Thanks, Bruce  P.S.  Derailers might be in need of wheels.  You might contact those guys if they are not on this group mailing list.  Take care.

Collectives,
Community Cycles in Boulder has a wheel problem, I'm guessing your bike
collective does too. Do you have too many wheels? How do you manage
them? We're about to recycle a bunch of good wheels that we don't have
room for. How can we put them to use?

Help
