Yeah....about that Ti frame. Downtube was trashed - someone drove into the garage with the bike on their roof rack. I'd have repaired it and ridden it myself, but funds were not permitting so I sold it on eBay for a tidy profit. Same day I pulled out an old, early-90s Trek OCLV road fork in perfect condition, some bar ends, and a set of pedals. I often pull out tacoed wheels that I cut the hubs out of - most are of decent quality, just needing bearing work. I have a box full of hubs now that I have no idea what to do with. As for tires, the shop in question slashes every ****ing tire they throw away so people can't scavenge them. WTF? Once in a while I'll find a low-end Bontrager 700c tire that isn't slashed, but other than that everything usable is pretty much wasted by the knife.
