Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Dan Burkhart

Like today for instance when, out of the blue, I see an old, but still serviceable Nishiki that looked to be just about my size propped on a pole along side the street at a house in my neighbourhood.
That is usually a signal that the item is free for the taking, but just to be sure, I rang the bell and spoke to the nice lady, who assured me, that yes, I was free to help myself.
Turns out I've been keeping an eye open for something exactly like this for a planned project, for which I have already amassed most of the major components.
It's going to be a back burner project for now, as I already have 2 winter projects lined up, but I expect it will be ready to roll out come spring in it's new form, which if I stick to the current plan will be a 3 speed with bull horns.
Here's a little look at the bike.
