Yeah. That's what I did with it. I ripped the rack and handlebars from it, but a few months ago, I finally got to see the bike with my own eyes. The headtube and downtube _were_ forced, and worse, the whole frame was so rusted that I couldn't see it justifying cleaning up. Also, most of the parts were also useless. It's been outside in the elements for several years, and since some of the parts on the deraileaurs (sic) were steel and horribly rusted, I didn't see anything left worth salvaging (besides what I already took), so I told my friend to junk the rest. He may still have it, though, but I don't know. But honestly, I don't think there's anything left that's salvageable.
