—‘85 Raleigh Gran Course, fits 28mm tires
—Carver Ti frame, fits 35mm tires
I like the idea of no money spent and using what you have right at the moment (hence the quarantine), however maybe allowing trades to occur. Either between members or neighbors/friends would be allowed.

I don't know if the secondary challenge is a good idea, but I was just thinking of other fun/stupid challenges that could be done as well.
