My Grandpa had a saying that went something like this.....Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, Or do without.....
There was a lot of welding, fixing, repurposing, and recycling going on when I was a kid. Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to vintage bikes and parts. I love to see something old, and considered "junk" to many, get fixed and put back on the road to be enjoyed and appreciated.
