Special Specialized (never weld like this)

[mikeeebikey]

Hanging with Big Daddy, sometimes strange bikes show up, take this specialized,

And you think that is bad!!!

Ok, maybe you cannot see the damage, done by a thief or ex wife,

This was not tig(heli arc) and wouldn't have held, besides being comically .... eyed!
I am installing the wheels on an old F.u.j.I., that has an early 105 group, with 32 hole wheels.....

Now to figure out how this "Hollow tech." crank comes off the spindle, where is my hammer........

Man that is cruel and unusual. Then someone tried to fix it rather than just buy a new frame... I'm still trying to wrap my head around who does this?

On second thought put a bicycle engine kit on it and post it on Craigslist.

Just rolling it forward the wheels tracked INCHES off.... and it felt squirrely trying to hold it by the stem!
It got better....inside the b.b. was all the slag! Evidently out of sight, out of mind!

Yikes...

I like it!!! Is artistic
Suddenly my welds aren't as ugly as I thought they are... at least I know how to use bondo, and this guy clearly doesn't
