Unwanted bicycles

    Is there anyone who takes in old/unwanted bikes and does them up and sells them on for charity? I recall a group in Cork who used to fix old crocks and sell them or send them to Africa.
    Don't hear about them now, and I have a 20 year old bike that I'm about to get rid of but it seems a bit of a waste as it only needs replacement chainrings and cassette.
