Bikes you see when out and about that need a loving home

[Croydian]

I see a elderley lady on Gosforth High Street quite regularly with her battered old mountain bike. Not usually one to chat up crones I can't keep my eyes off her retro pace suss forks. She probably thinks I'm a bit weird now and and casual "do those still work/how much do you want for them?" type of chat would be taken the wrong way!
