Bike Buying Guide Many of the bikes donated to us are bike shop quality bikes. We often sell these so we can have money to pay for the parts to repair the 2300 kid’s bikes that we give out each year. Bikes can be viewed at any of the work parties or by special appointment. Send us an email with your contact information, and we will try to coordinate an opportunity to view our bikes. Bikes can be in a variety of conditions between being repaired and ready to ride. The more work a bike requires to be road ready, the lower the price will be set. Check out the bikes we have for sale through ebay. All bikes sold through ebay are shipped febex in a bicycle box. It usually costs about $25 to ship a bike, not bad considering its a big object to send. Ebay Seller name: kcBikeman Generally the prices of the bikes are set between 30% and 50% of the new price value. Following are the guidelines we use to price the bikes. Exceptions are possible, but you can have an idea of the type of bike you may be able to find.
