Default Previously Loved Components Drive

JensonUSA Inaugural Previously Loved Components Drive

First a little background, for a little over a year now we(JensonUSA) have been shipping new and used(good condition) parts for free to service members overseas serving in Iraq. We have sent everything from repair stands to cassettes and chains. And the response that we have gotten back has been amazing, and it has been great helping to get them riding.

We were thinking what we could do to get more parts for these guys, and thinking back to our Annual Parking Lot Sale the lines were wrapped around the parking lot. So we decided what better place to hold our Previously Loved Components Drive than the Parking Lot Sale.

So we are asking if you are coming to the Parking Lot Sale on Sept. 6 and you have any old parts that are still in good shape and you don't know what to do with them. Bring them along and donate them to a worthy cause.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me, hope to see you there.

very cool, I got a bunch of non-disc wheels and pinned<gasp> cassettes which will never see any of my bikes. I can also tell the wife I traded those old parts for whatever I score at the sale

Sounds like an awesome idea! Its a reverse situation for me, I'm the service member sending "lightly" used parts to my old civilian riding partners on the east coast.

Yeah mostly they are franken bikes but one guy has an old Yeti. I know of one of the guys had to cannibalize about 6 bikes to build one workable bike. And he even has converted others into cyclist too.

Thats awesome. I think next time I go on deployment I'm going to find a place to stash my road bike.

There is a good article in Bicycling Magazine about it.
