Are there any scrap yard kind of for bicycles?

On the otherside have seen so many abandoned cycles in and around Newbury some without wheels and some just with frames Well I may have to check with town council where are these bikes go ..

I'm reasonably sure that Newbury council will not bother collecting them that regularly, instead leaving them until they receive a complaint, in which case I imagine it will end up at the recycling centre on the A339/Newtown Road, where it will get thrown in the appropriate container. I'm sure the council be a) happy for you to clear the waste for them or b) have a chat with the chaps at the recycling centre - I don't imagine they will be too bothered if you removed the odd part if you asked.

Have you looked on eBay?

 

[Krock]

@vickster.. Yes I did there are.. but I feel they are not cheap and dont know the quality .. have got bad experiences in past from ebay..

 

[vickster]

Are there any old fashioned bike shops that might be able to source one. I think you'll find it hard to find a fairly specialised item in a small search area

Put a wanted ad in the classifieds here

If you are willing to travel to Reading there is a place called "Bicycle Kitchen" (link below)

They have boxes and boxes of old parts: cranks, chainsets, handlebars etc...

I think they are open 9-5 on Saturdays and various evenings 5-9
