Heh, sorta appropriate. Really just two bikes and some excess racks I had sitting around. A skykomish MTB and the rear triangle from some walmart full suspension BSO.
Be careful with Frankenbikes, law enforcement has used that as a tool against motorcycle groups where a bike owner would nearly have to prove that component parts are not stolen. The assumption is that if the parts aren't original then they might be held until ownership can be proven.
Eh, I've never tried to register it. I'd really like to see how this would work with bicycles though. I bought the skykomish bike @ a thrift store - who knows whose it was before hand? I found the BSO in a dumpster - who had it and then threw it away? I mean - really I haven't bought any "brand new" bicycle since a huffy when i was 14.
