Bike for Italian exchange student

[Lister Farrar]

I'm coaching the Oak Bay High cycling club, and there is an Italian exchange student who wants to ride, but doesn't have his bikes here. He's primarily been a mtb rider, but wants to ride also with the majority who are road riding.

Anyone interested in renting or loaning a basic road and/or mntn bike until the end of the school year? He would need a 56 or 58. Nothing fancy needed. I don't know his host family, but I will contact them and make sure there is a safe place to keep it, out of the weather. He suggested maybe he could buy one if the seller could buy it back in June, assuming it survives ok.

Others who are road riders are looking for basic mtbs to ride the mtb races in the school series. Several sizes needed; gathering that info now.

One in particular is about 6'5" and looking for probably a 62+ road frame and an xl mtb.

On another note, we ride Fridays at 2:45, if anyone wants to join us. They are much better at group riding than I expected; today they played fox and hounds very well, two older boys gainng only about 7 seconds from Ash to Willows beach over 2 younger weaker riders and the two adults, me and a teacher. Two others had to turn off for other appts, but were also going well.
