in both cases i got wheels from the local co-op, and since they know me they gave me the bent frames they came from. i used the chain and seat stays from both (mongoose dolomite fat bike. i forgot what the other was. semi fat 29x3. used the front fork and head tube from that one also).

i picked up one more mountain bike that should end up about the same (another mongoose. the 26" mountain bike they sold for a while with mags). they'll be my 3 pedal bobber style bikes.
