Luck struck again about a month ago when a good friend called me up and said that there was a bike abandoned at the dumpster downtown. I went to look at it that night and threw it in the back of the truck. I'll post a picture soon, it's perfect. So that it is my newest project... building a bike for miss perkins.
I hope to find many more garage sell jewels this season, and hopefully make/convert more bikes. There is something so rewarding about giving these bikes a second life. Plus it's fun taking stuff apart and putting it back together.
So far life on my fixed gear is awesome. I bike it to work as much as possible. I love it. As soon as I take some good picture of the finished product I will post them, it turned out so great. I love my bike so much.
For those of you who aren't in the know, I found the coolest thing surfing blogs the other day: yard sale treasure map powered by mapquest and craigslist.
wa la:
plan your yard sell trip so you know exactly where to go. Just download the garage sells in your area from craigslist... and the work is done for you! So cool. So so cool. Thank you internet Gods!
