a buddy gave me this 70's stingray frame(free). it's crusty, but i can save it.
another pal gave my this bantom(free) so i could rape it for the head and crank hardware.
i picked up a junky huffy for 10 clams so i could use the wheels and part out the rest for a bike i build for my neighbors kid.
so far i'm into this bike under 40 bucks for 56 new spokes & nipples. so far all i've done is strip, paint, and respoke the wheels. i'm waiting for a couple more parts before i really dive into this.
heres also a girl-free spirit my neighbor gave me(free again). the wheels,tubes, and tires were trash. so was the head cups/cones/bearing. i swapped those out for some stuff from a junk(free) murry BMX bike i got from a yard sale 2 houses away. prolly gonna build that one for my wife.
