lol nope not me, lived in or near Memphis for all of my 35 (now 36 in 10 days) years.

I bought the Marin Pine Mountain frame and did the swapping of parts, like you plan on doing, a few months ago. Mainly because the Pine Mountain frame was larger and has all the rack and fender mounts, and takes disc brakes. But just now I figured I could build the yellow bike back up again almost entirely from parts laying around in the garage.

It's almost a "rite of passage" for us avid cyclists, especially ones who love wrenching and doing their own work - getting to that point where you can build an entire bike just from spare parts laying around.
