    Hamax with fixing bracket £20 ono

    Copilot Limo - free - seat still fully usable but is lacking the rear flap that acts as one of 2 safety catches in addition to fixing mechanism . You'll need a Blackburn rack to make use of it.

    Also a canyon s/m child's helmet in black and white - looks vaguely pandai- ish. Size says it fits kids with heads 52-57 inches but we've had to get a new one for our boy because it clearly didn't fit him properly after a year or so of use. Cost £5 at the bike coop new so Happy to hand it on for free

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a used bike trailer, possibly an old child-transporter I can convert into a cargo-trailer.

    If anyone has one that is no longer needed, I might pay good money for it! (Esp with aluminium frame).

    I've been looking for a cheap towbar and that would do me nicely. Is it off Gumtree or is it yourself that's selling it?

    I assume it's in the charity shop here:

    So I got the trailgator a couple of days ago as posted above, tried to fit it last night and it's missing the brackets for connecting any bikes, both child and adult. On the off chance that it was donated by anyone here, could you have a look and see if said brackets are still installed on your towing and towed bikes please as all I have at the moment is a metal bar.

    On the slight chance that the donor is here, and has them, then can you please PM me.

    Thanks very much.

    EBC do sell spares.

    We bought a non Trailgater (copy??) from the Rod Steiger school bike sale a few years ago but never managed to get spares, despite it having a manufacturer on the thing. :O(

    Thanks @DaveC & @SRD. I've looked into spares but they are expensive which would defeat the purpose of getting a cheap towbar. Bike Station might be worth a shot though. I'll pop in over the weekend. Thanks.

    It is with heavy heart (but overstuffed shed) that I must announce our wish to sell the Phillips Cleveland two-child bike trailer depicted here:

    Takes up to two children. Protects same from elements. Also suitable for three binbagsworth of inanimate cargoes, which can also be protected from the elements. Pneumatic 12" wheels. Clamps onto your non-driveside chainstay.

    It can be ridden through the Leith Links chicanes...

    ...and up the hanging zigzag of Springside:

    It comes with a flag and a couple of plastic pole things, though it's lost its connecting bungee and so usually gets velcroed in place. It comes with a handle and a front wheel for conversion to a side-by-side double buggy; though the front wheel is secure the mount is a bit bent. It can be collapsed in less than ninety seconds:

    ...and erected in about the same time. It probably takes about another minute to attach to the bike, depending on how fast you can tighten a knurled handwheel thing.

    £40 or thereabouts? Buyer to collect, from vaguely near Leith Links? PM if interested.
