Seeing as I've gotten back into building bikes, I've started asking people for old bikes to rebuild/strip for parts. I scored 4 in one week!!!
Two hideous MTB bikes, a 24" and a 26" with a taco'ed rear wheel. I stripped them both, the 24" looks good enough to rebuild. I'll probably convert the 26" fork into a truing stand. LOL.
Next up: a Wal-mart cruiser I bought for my dad years ago. He gave it to someone, who used it for a few weeks, and left it to rot outside for a few years. We asked for it back, and here it is! 6-speed rear derailer, it's all there, tires hold air.
Last up (saving the best for last) an old Roadmaster, probably 1970's material. Single speed with a coaster brake, and 26x1-1/4" rims.
And thus it begins!!
