A map of London, a Darwin awards book and what might be an aperitif glass. They could be clues to a murder or just some junk.
This Instep 10k Ultimate surely does not imply with its name that you should be running 10 kilometres with your two lazy disgusting offspring in this thing. Hmmmmmmm. The hand grip foam was all broken so we threw some cheap bike bar tape on there and it will appear on the list of craig forthwith.
This snazzy Trek MT60 was more or less picked up to order for an acquaintance whose daughter is less than enthused about her current bike. One hopes she shall be happier with this, it is in near perfect shape and quite fancy for a bike for a 5 year old.
These stainless steel shelves are the standard items from the Metropolitan Wire Corporation. We have a pair exactly like this already so we may have to now buy some legs or some such to make a nice shelving unit. Legs are cheap, these large stainless shelves are not.
This Karcher pressure washer has had the cord cut and is missing everything but we will test it for functionality. Since we got a few pressure washers lots of readers of this publication have expressed interest.
This random Instep double jogging stroller is in OK shape except for the handlebar grip material, a common issue. Some road bike bar tape and it will be ready to thrust itself upon the world again, starting with the list of craig.
This thing is lamentably missing a good name by we will employ the token "handcycle" for the time being. It was in fine shape but nearly unusable due to dry bearings. This was a course remedied with a little red oil can and it is now a pretty functional offspring amusement device.
Yet another Britax car seat. Nothing wrong with this one and it will stored for future short term deployment.
This random little Powerwasher 1400 was sitting by the curb in a nearby town. A plastic quick-release fitting had been used on the hose coupling for the water inlet and it had indulged in a spot of brittle fracture. We unscrewed the old coupling fragment and put on a shiny new one and voila, the thing works fine. Reason for discard was presumably the broken coupling (not part of the unit itself) but also contributing could have been the fact that the power cable and high pressure hose were nastily knotted up.
A couple of random bikes, First a Schwinn Varsity with very little wrong with apart from a coating of dust and spot of rust.
Next a Raleigh Sprite that had been crunched by the bucket loader. So far it seems that only the rear wheel is damaged so this should be fixable pretty easily.
This random cheapo tile cutter is in pretty much unused condition. We have one similar so this is available to all and sundry. Simon or Charlie?
If you wish to carry your offspring around in a manner that is condusive to longer walks and actually getting there then plonking them in one of these devices is a feasible option. We have no need of it though and will hence purvey this item to some nice poeple made known to us by the list of craig.
A small selection of things that might amuse offspring. First a thing that might best be described as a gravity ball xylophone. It certainly functions well in amusing a 18 month old inquisitive monster.
Next up a swimming noodle thingy. It is sort of a waste of space and expanded petrochemicals until you throw a small offspring in a pool and toss them this, it seems to amuse them for hours. Thusly will it be employed.
Lots of random table place mats. Some of these are eminently suitable for grandparent deployment. Some for other random usage modes.
This Graco brand Snap-n-go stroller frame implement is in near perfect shape and will be welcomed by some nice person who owns a Graco car seat and wishes to wheel it round a mall with their offspring inside.
This random Peg Perego Venezia pushchair is in fine condition and has a nice robust fabric. It has had a clean and oil all ready for the new owners that hopefully will chance upon it on the list of craig.
This Kelty offspring carriage device is in near perfect condition and ready for action. All very nice, and we hope the new owners agree with us.
This random Specialized kids bike is all present and correct after a little tune up. It has a ridiculous name but you can always deliberately avoid reading that silliness that whilst riding along. Available for trade or will be sold.
This might be a little confusing but a fine friend of ours has a occupation that tends to lead to lots of roaming through towns with curbside garbage. Hence these two Babytrend Expedtion double jogging strollers, both average condition with some fading on the seat fabric and stiff collapsing catches. The latter we can fix and then after air in the tyres they will be ready for a new home with people sent by the list of craig.
We found 20 brand new Sigg drinking bottles and a convenient tub to carry them home in. They seems to have been personalized for some event or other but that is no problem. They have already been given away to friend and visitors. The pic shows them already depleted by gifting. Within a day of this pic they were all gone.
