[Manny Moons]

Its a parts bike. Use it for parts :mrgreen:

I think I'd Let the cops know what I found before I did anything with it, just in case it was reported stolen.

Some kid mighta lost his only wheels.

Cut off the "Top" tube and rework it into something like a new cantilever frame.

you are going to have to show me what you mean please sir

 

[budzillacycles]

sure thing, let me rework it in photo shop.

just a sec--

 

[budzillacycles]

here is with the tube just repositioned --

 

[budzillacycles]

Here is the same tube cut at the middle. Move the right side to the left and it changes from an "S" bend to a "C" like bend. This will need just a little bit of stock added to reach the seat post (the missing part is in white).

Randy did something like this with one of his once -

 

[budzillacycles]

You could find tubing from anywhere else and just make your own top tube instead of reworking that one that much. Thrift stores are great for exercise equipment and furniture for tubing.

Peal off the decals (or not) & put it on Craigslist for at least $100 as a "vintage classic from the '40's or '50's"
That's what they seem to do around here...so many idiots trying to pass turds off as treasures, the only good deals are at vintage bike shows!

You got yourself what I call a "no-locker", a bike u don't have to worry about, but yeah, you're only a couple of welds & a rattle can away from a decent manly rat ride...good luck

Paint it baby-blue and make a nice girl happy with it
