I was looking for a cheap rear coaster wheel for my friend's bike, and a wreck of a bike with a crappy picture appeared on CL. It appeared to have a coaster brake wheel, was in her neighborhood, and was $10. The seller was under no allusion that he had gold, it was a project bike gone bad. She went and got it, and I picked it up later. I dismantled to yield this:

It doesn't have bearing rings, it has rings of bearings!

Thinner than cardboard (scrunched it with a pair of pliers):

I'm not sure if this frame is worth repairing... thoughts?
 
I have the equipment to re weld it but ,,I have to many bicycles to worry about fixing it..But I would stretch or chop the heck out of it..in a heart beat..
 
It's a fairly common 60s amf frame. Must have gotten some water in the frame to rust through from the inside like that! -Adam
