Located in the ‘Free Stuff’ category on Craigslist, this mountain bike is being given away to one lucky individual for free. Yes, you heard that right. Sound too good to be true? Well, sadly, there is one catch. Unfortunately, the brakes need repairing. However, if you’re handy enough with bike repairs then this can be done by yourself. Furthermore, if you know a bike expert then this isn’t a big job and is relatively inexpensive. Now, on to the good part. As seen below, this particular type of ‘Mongoose’ bike can sell for big money if the right buyer comes along.

With prices ranging from $200-$359, there’s plenty of money to be made with this bike if you get the brakes sorted. In fact, even if it is sold as faulty then you could easily get around $30-$50 for it, which isn’t bad considering that it’s literally free.

Located near the Washington Park area of the city, this bike is still freely available to anyone who wants it. Aside from the brakes, it also looks like it’s in good condition for the most part – so you really can’t complain. Further still, even if you’re not looking to do a quick flip, you could always keep this bike for yourself as it still has plenty of life left in it. Just remember, you shouldn’t try cycling with broken brakes as it could cause an accident.

Overall, this is a nice reminder that sometimes, the people of Portland can be very friendly and helpful.
