Unfortunately there is no co-op in town or reasonably close by. I haven't tried dumpster diving the bike shop l, all though that's not a bad idea. CL is almost not an option. People around my area sell Next bikes for about $75 and schwinn bikes that are not close to rideable for $60. If it's a road bike expect $150+ and that's for turkey levers and stem shifters. They are a bit crazy. I saw a Bridgestone MB-4 listed for $395! I just like the idea of building it up a bit. Plus it's fully rideable now and I've put 100 miles or so on it. See how comfy/nice/smooth/more performance I can get out of it for little to nothing.
