i was a postie for a few short months and, as happens, an elderly gent in one the houses on my round passed away. it was a council estate and so over a couple of days i saw people in and out clearing the house.
i was gobsmacked one morning to see the local scrap merchant waiting outside, and out came a load of lovely old road bikes in great condition. the scrappy chucked them into his skip and drove off
The guys at my local council tip [the 'big gaffer' bit of a cyclophile] have been really good to me.... They have a stack/pile of scrappers (held for charity collection) and I scored for a set of pedals and, another time, a 20" BMX ally rim complete = for nix 😉👍
They even removed the wheel for me......
