I have a brand new Jamis Trail X1 mountain bike that is too small for me and I have been trying to give away or donate for a very long time but have been unable to do so. Yes it seems like finding a new worthy owner for this bike is very very hard.
Part of the problem is that I want to find someone who really needs the bike and will really use it, I guess you could say I want to try and change someones life for the best with this donation. There are some organizations in the Portland area that deal with these kinds of things but I want to meet the person hear their story be more personally involved in the actual donation.
I am a firm believer in the power of exercise to change ones life and I hope to help one more person realize this. So does anyone know someone or have any ideas? Below are the bike specifications straight from the Jamis website.
