garage sell reject

I found the frame for my bike two weeks ago today at a garage sell across town. I was lucky because it was the only bike I found all morning that was even close to what I was looking for. And it was only 5 bucks!! It was a miracle! I had begun to think it hopeless trying to find a used road bike. Especially since the day before Nate and I had driven to every second hand store in the valley looking for good frames and didn't find a single one.

This bike is the prefect size... when I saw it standing all alone and sad at that garage sell, I knew I had to give it a home.


So that following week Nate took the whole thing apart:

This is when the brake was cut. Sha bui!

This is when Nate was happy he got that thing off.

This is when Nate was done.

Now I'm just dreaming for an awesome paint job and cool components. And thinking of ways to get money to make it happen as soon as possible.
