a quite out of date log of my dumpster hauls;

www.pinholedumpster.com



at the local tip shop (not quite the dumpster as someone else scavenges then sells) I picked up a magnesium frame merida 909 which i'm somewhat hesitant to build up considering the crackability of it all (no obvious cracks) and an alloy iron horse something (great singlespeed all tipshopped/dumpstered except the chain and bits out of the stash) plus a bunch of other stuff for $10 AUS (?$6 us)
if i can get a fork and headset cheapl enough ill do the merida to see how it goes but i dont want to spend any money on a potentially cracked mag frame.


re:mess
from the first time i went diving with my friends i knew: leave the dumpster CLEANER than you left it. more likely to remain unlocked that way.


all this makes me keen. i think ill ride my xtracycle to my girlfriends house tonight. she lives <100m from a good dumpster...
