You can say that again ;-)
But I've gotten some nice old Suzue hubs that way. And that
Maxy crankset with which I'm still wondering what to do. And
lots of spare cable housings & ferrules, etc.
And it affords an excuse for night rides, looking for
unlocked dumpsters, tiffs & bins to dump junk frames &
forks into.
I might rig up a garden trellis out of some old wheels.
A chainring with the spacers on it makes a pretty good
teapot trivet.
cheers,
Tom
