solid idea, there! i ran into a fellow at a fhrift store and got into a convo about his norco mtb. turns out he'd found it at the local metal yard. that and, at one point, a cannondale road bike. one of those all black ones...whatever they're called. anyway, he said he frequently sees very decent bikes there during high volume (scrapping) season
