Hi,

I'm 22 years old and while I've been in college, I have really enjoyed pushing my wheelchair around as a workout. It is a sports chair, but it is just too heavy to do any really long distance. Add to that, I am engaged to a runner and we would really like to train for a marathon together at some point. Problem is, we really can't afford a new racing chair at this point and I am just curious if anyone would have a used racing chair or know someone who does.

Thanks,
Abbey

Get hold of this guy: BMJ1393@sbcglobal.net
He lives in Milwaukee, has a couple racing chairs. You'll have to talk him into selling you one. I have an old 4 wheeler I would give you, but people would make fun of you for using it. I use to live there and its a great place for running. She will have to step up her game to keep up with you though.
If you can get just a frame I have two sets of 700c rear wheels and push rims, I'll make you a super deal on (brats). One set is for practice, the other racing.

I have two racing wheelchairs for sale. I live in the Minneapolis area. I haven't set a price yet but am willing sell at reasonable prices.

I can send you information on the chairs if you are interested.

Thanks.
