sometimes ( most times ) a real cool bike is the product of several components of several bikes combined using your own imagination. it doesnt necessarily have to be a springer on it right away,maybe its a real cool frame shape you like and then you hunt for the forks that complement the build style your going for. tag sales , salvation army, and flea markets are a great place to snag deals up real cheap.
sometimes you gotta get 3 bikes to make 1 :mrgreen:

Don't forget dumpster diving and hitting the neighborhood the night before the trashman comes by. We call that the "Tuesday Night Treasure Hunt" here. 8)

Go to yard sales that are out in the county, rather than in the city. You can find these rural yard sales posted on your local craigslist.org. You can also find older bikes at estate sales.
