as yes, get a cheap junker, they get doner bikes ... it was fun for a cpl years but I'll never do that again. still remembering getting ride of 14 bikes or frames within a cpl months. happy to say we have only working bikes in our small basement, w/ the exception of a cpl wheels & other small parts

whether or not something is worth doing is totally up to you. let me throw this at you: get rid of the junk & go ride a bike. bingo, how did that make you feel? releaved? was I off target? is your passion still in wrenching? would it be a relief to be over the wreck wrenching? then there's your answer
