Every once in awhile he picks up an old bike and if it's something he thinks I'd be interested in he'll bring it by. Been quite awhile since he's picked up anything good though. It's all been X Mart crap and pretty well trashed at that.
People like you and I do that stuff with scrap, but unfortunately for every one of us there are at least 20 that are not.
